Folio Society vs Taschen | East of the Sun, West of the Moon | Beautiful Books

A detailed comparison of the loveliest editions of Kay Nielsen's illustrations of the East of the Sun, West of the Moon ((Click more for links to the books) - one by the Folio Society (a lovely facsimile of the original classic) and one by Taschen (a beautifully redesigned and oversized feast of beautiful images).

Some book links below are affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

►Taschen's edition is available new, although the later editions ditched the fiddly paper slipcase (seriously - buy it today - it's absolutely stunning and you will not regret it): http://tidd.ly/22156861

►The Folio Society edition is out of print, but you can usually find copies second hand without too much trouble - just have patience and wait for a reasonably priced one to surface: http://bit.ly/FSEastWest

►Although I didn't have it to show in the video, the Calla Editions book is very similar to the FS edition - it's cloth bound and the image reproductions are very marginally less sharp, but it's still available new and may be more affordable, depending where you live: http://tidd.ly/834d848f
