SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) — Born from the idea of putting together a list of the more “practical” Star Wars Day collectables quickly transformed into another one of my epic 10-hour dives down the internet’s rabbit hole. It wasn’t supposed to be a Mother’s Day Guide. Or was it? How else will I explain the Milk Snob, Vixen, Hedley & Bennett, Cakeworthy and Printed Pet Memories (I don't have a pet) ads that will inevitably populate my web browser for the rest of my digital existence?

Once I started, I couldn’t stop without visiting my old reliable like The Folio Society, Insight Editions, Ravensburger, and Out of Print (who I hadn’t visited in quite some time)?

For more playful Star Wars releases visit my Star Wars Day announcement roundups (here, and here). I'll be preparing a summer guide to the Folio Society's new releases. For the time being, book lovers can visit my spring recap (the Doctor Strange release is beautiful).

The Folio Society

Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
An immediate success on its release, Rebecca gripped readers with its drama, romance and mystery, and was soon adapted for film by Alfred Hitchcock. This edition of Daphne du Maurier’s macabre masterpiece features a bold cover design and atmospheric colour and black and white images by D. G. Smith. Introducer Helen Dunmore discusses how this extraordinary psychological thriller, with its echoes of Jane Eyre, is also a searing exploration of patriarchy, retribution, female sexuality and class prejudice.

The Color Purple by Alice Walker
The Color Purple is one of the great novels of the 20th century, exploring the extremes of human nature through the eyes of a young African American woman in 1930s Georgia. Deemed controversial on publication for its explicit portrayal of abuse – it was banned in American school libraries until 2013 – The Color Purple is an important and beautifully imagined novel that will deeply affect and enrich everyone who reads it.

The Princess Bride by William Goldman
Mythologised by the author as the ’Good Parts’ version of a magnificent book by the ’great Florinese writer’, S. Morgenstern, The Princess Bride is a gripping tongue-in-cheek fairy tale. It tells the story of Buttercup, an exceptionally beautiful girl who rises from unlikely beginnings to receive the dubious hand-in- marriage of the barrel-like Prince Humperdinck. Meanwhile her true love, Westley the farm boy, must cross perilous seas, climb the Cliffs of Insanity, fight off man-eating swamp rats and survive the abominable Zoo of Death to rescue her from a grisly end. Fast-paced and funny, The Princess Bride lampoons the fairy-tale tradition but is at once a classic in its own right.
