I love how Folio Society books look on the outside, but im actually not sure about the idea of having illustrations in them. I feel like it would compromise the mental image the reader develops by replacing it with a visual artists interpretation.

What do you think?

Nah, it doesn't, its a lil more complex tban that, i always like when an illustration comes in folio society books, it gives me a different perspective on a scene and can evoke new feelings but it never sabotages your own mental image, theyre too infrequwmt for that, mostly its about 5-6 drawings a novel
