The Folio Society is releasing a handful of new science fiction and fantasy editions today for collectors to add to their bookshelves: the third installment of George R.R. Martin’s **A Song of Ice and Fire* series, **A Storm of Swords*, Michael Crichton’s **Jurassic Park*, and Robert Heinlein’s **Stranger in a Strange Land*.

The publisher specializes in high-end editions of classic literature, and in the last five years, has begun to focus more extensively on genre titles. This year alone, it’s released a number of excellent editions: a [special edition of Frank Herbert’s **Dune*](https://www.tor.com/2020/09/29/the-folio-society-is-releasing-a-limited-special-edition-of-frank-herberts-dune/?ref=andrewliptak.com), [Robin Hobb’s **Farseer* trilogy](https://www.tor.com/2020/09/03/the-folio-societys-next-big-fantasy-release-is-robin-hobbs-farseer-trilogy/?ref=andrewliptak.com), [Arthur C. Clarke’s **Rendezvous with Rama*](https://www.tor.com/2020/06/12/an-interview-with-matt-griffin-illustrator-of-the-folio-societys-rendezvous-with-rama/?ref=andrewliptak.com), and [George R.R. Martin’s **A Clash of Kings*](https://www.tor.com/2020/04/22/an-interview-with-art-jonathan-burton-artist-of-george-r-r-martins-a-clash-of-kings/?ref=andrewliptak.com).

First up is [**A Storm of Swords*](https://www.foliosociety.com/usa/a-storm-of-swords.html?ref=andrewliptak.com), the third installment of Martin’s epic fantasy series. Already, The Folio Society has released [**A Game of Thrones*](https://andrewliptak.substack.com/p/reading-list-folio-s-game-of-thrones) and **[A Clash of Kings](https://www.tor.com/2020/04/22/an-interview-with-art-jonathan-burton-artist-of-george-r-r-martins-a-clash-of-kings/?ref=andrewliptak.com),* both of which came in two volumes in a slipcase, as well as with illustrations from Jonathan Burton.

Burton returns once again for this edition to provide 16 original illustrations. The set retails for $200 in the US (£125.00 in the UK, $245.00 in Canada, and $280.00 in Australia).

The next book on the list is Michael Crichton’s [**Jurassic Park*](https://www.foliosociety.com/usa/jurassic-park.html?ref=andrewliptak.com). This year marks the book’s 30th anniversary, and this volume comes with illustrations from Vector That Fox, along with a special, pebbled slipcase that’s meant to resemble dinosaur skin. This edition runs at $60 in the US, £39.95 in the UK, $75 in Canada, and $95 in Australia.

Finally, The Folio Society is returning to the works of Robert Heinlein with its edition of **Stranger in a Strange Land*. In 2018, the publisher released a [slick edition](https://www.theverge.com/2018/12/9/18132144/starship-troopers-folio-society-stephen-hickman-robert-heinlein-book-military-science-fiction?ref=andrewliptak.com) of Heinlein’s **Starship Troopers*, with art from Stephen Hickman.
