Heres the bit from the Folio Society about the set:
A stunning new two-volume Folio edition of Gene Wolfe’s acclaimed The Book of the New Sun, lavishly illustrated by Sam Weber and introduced by Neil Gaiman.
A work that subverts, elevates and transcends its genre, Gene Wolfe’s fantasy epic tells the story of Severian, a young torturer who falls in love with one of his victims. His punishment for allowing her a quick death, rather than a brutally slow demise, is exile to a distant city, but his arduous journey is fraught with danger, magic and questions about his destiny.
This beautiful new collector’s edition of Wolfe’s multi-award-winning work has been illustrated by the celebrated artist, Sam Weber. A labour of love that took the best part of a year to complete, this edition features four colour illustrations in each volume, two of which are double page spreads and twelve original black-and-white illustrations. Weber also designed the binding for each of the four books that comprise this epic story, which form the front and back bindings of this two-volume edition. The two-colour text includes decorative chapter initials based on an ancient script adapted by Weber to incorporate symbolic references to the story; a fitting tribute to a literary legacy that will stun generations to come. This edition also features an introduction by Neil Gaiman.
