I was not sure if I'd like the book in person when looking at the pictures, but it is really a standout for any collection.

Productdetails
Winner of the 2019 British Book Design and Production Award for Best Cover/JacketJoining The Man in the High Castle and the tête-bêche edition of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? & A Scanner Darkly, Ubik is an unmissable Folio edition for fans of one of science fiction’s true masters. Time magazine described Philip K. Dick’s Ubik as ‘a deeply unsettling existential horror story’, a masterwork that built something new and altogether stranger out of the glittering foundations of science fiction. It is a novel that wrongfoots the reader at every turn, yet with a deft hand Dick delivers a taut thriller shot through with a gloriously dark sense of humour. ‘The most consistently brilliant SF writer in the world’ John Brunner Inspired by Dick’s ability to break new ground with every story, Folio’ edition of Ubik pushes the boundaries of book design and science-fiction art. Featuring a series of bold hypnotic illustrations by award-winning independent art studio La Boca, this volume is presented in a special die-cut slipcase that combines with the vibrant binding to confuse the eye.

An interesting book that seems to have been ahead of its time. Dick has done what HG Wells and AC Clarke had done in predicting the future. It has taken us slightly longer to get there than when Ubik is set. Very good story and illustrations. Another quality book from the Folio Society.

The treatment used for Ubik is rare and one of the most precious books in my collection. It's a tribute to the story within and I could not be happier.

Beautiful book, a beautiful color scheme for the cover and slipcase, which is unique in and of itself. A collector's edition well worth the purchase.

Folio Society is a maker of creatively crafted, finely bound, works of Art that also function as books well worth reading. To build a library of Folio Society books is to embark on a life journey of discovery and exploration -- a delightful travelog of the world's literature presented in brilliantly bound editions.

Great read. Not a fan of the cuts outs which weaken the slip case and don't protect against moisture but this is a very small quibble.
