Folio Society Collection - Lot of 4 Books. Overall Condition: Fine / Near Fine (All with Slipcases) Combined Weight: 5.21 kg. Item Description: A beautiful, highly collectible lot of four classic non-fiction and historical volumes published by the prestigious Folio Society. All four books are in exceptionally neat, well-preserved condition, complete with their original slipcases. Please see the attached photos to verify the excellent condition of this set. Individual Book Condition Reports & Synopses: Book (1): Between Silk and Cyanide: The Story of SOE's Cold War. Author: Leo Marks.

Book boards and book block are perfectly clean and unmarked on all sides. Spine is completely intact; text body is clean and unmarked throughout. An excellent, pristine copy. Synopsis: The title stems from a poignant moment when Marks explained why British agents in occupied Europe needed cryptographic codes printed on silk rather than rustling paper: it was a choice "between silk and cyanide"—surviving via reliable, easily concealed radio transmissions or being forced to take a suicide pill to avoid breaking under enemy torture.

Synopsis: A beautifully bound volume detailing the gripping, high-stakes race to shatter the German Enigma code during World War II, showcasing the brilliant minds and machines that changed the course of history. Book (3). In Cold Blood: A True Account of a Multiple Murder and its Consequences Author: Truman Capote. Published: 2011Condition: Fine (Book) / Near Fine (Slipcase) Details: Hardcover printed on premium Abbey Wove paper by L.E.G.O. SpA in Vicenza, Italy. Book boards, spine, and all sides of the book block are completely clean and unmarked. Text body is immaculate. Synopsis: The definitive true crime classic crafted to the highest aesthetic standards.
