If you have a valuable collection and are concerned that even with time and effort you may not achieve the right prices selling privately, our consignment service may be the right solution.
Folio Vault is the world’s specialist in Folio Society books, with an established reputation since 2019 and a large base of loyal collectors who regularly purchase from us. Our specialist focus allows us to achieve stronger results than general booksellers, particularly for high-value and limited editions.
We agree a guaranteed minimum return for your books, so you know exactly what to expect. In many cases, final results exceed this level depending on demand and achieved sale prices.
By consigning with us, your books are presented professionally and marketed to an international collector audience, with worldwide shipping from both the UK and the US.
We handle the full process including pricing, photography, marketing, sales, shipping, customs, and customer support. Sellers in both the UK and the US can ship domestically to our nearest operation, making the process simpler and more cost effective.
Our goal is to maximise your return while making the process as straightforward and low-effort as possible.

We review each collection individually. Consignment is generally most suitable for valuable collections including limited editions, signed editions, rarer out-of-print titles, and collections where achieving the right market price requires specialist presentation and access to the right audience.
If consignment is not the right fit, we may still be able to offer a direct purchase. This is often more suitable for larger collections made up mainly of medium or lower value books, where a faster and simpler transaction may be preferable.
The standard consignment term is 6 months from the date your books are received, unless agreed otherwise.
If any books remain unsold at the end of the term, we will contact you to discuss the available options, including return, extension of the consignment period, or a direct purchase offer.
Email us at: info@thefoliovault.com or info@foliovaultnorthamerica.com
Please send either a few clear shelf photos or a simple list of titles. We usually respond within 24 hours.
Important Note
Consignment is offered on a case-by-case basis and subject to review of the collection. Full terms and payout details are confirmed before any books are shipped.
