I don't remember signing to a newsletter, but I might have done. I've only bought two books from them using my email.
This was on the bottom of the email if it helps.

Fantastic. Thanks so much for sharing this @shamanimal , it's much appreciated! :)
Have you bought something from them before?
I only started receiving those emails after I had bought a book.
Yes, as noted in earlier posts here. I only ever got a £10 voucher after my first purchase but never got any emails since then. I have all the Bond folio books now bar TB and LALD.
I don't know how they knew my birthday.
They have people everywhere. ;)
Hyperbole.
It was meant to be hyperbole.
I can only think that perhaps you had to enter your date of birth somewhere when ordering the books for the first time? Presumably they simply stored that information and had an automated email set for the birthday date?
Fom retail experience I know that even coffee loyalty cards ask for your date of birth now when you register them online (so you can get a free coffee on your birthday) so perhaps the Folio Society has a similar marketing strategy arrangement? Otherwise, how would they know your birthday? That's assuming of course that they are not as ridiculously well connected as Quantum was in QoS! :)
But perhaps there is another explanation...who knows?
(I did have to enter my date of birth when registering however)
As I suspected, that's the answer then. That's quite a clever marketing ploy from the Folio Society in that case.
Is this right, TB came out last March? I thought it was the summer, but I may have forgotten. Another Folio in March and then NTTD in April... sweet!
Yes it came out in march.
Folio only released one Fleming book in May, which was in the first year they did two (2017, Dr. No). Since then they switched to march, and kept it consistently.

Yeah I love the artwork for LALD. I was a little disappointed by TB, so it was great to see LALD be so great.
Between you and me, I'd have preferred Moonraker, so that I'd have the first four, but I'm not complaining!
Very nice indeed!!! :-bd
Finally began my collection, thanks to Santa this year :D looking forward to picking up more!
To compare with their previous LALD
Whoever made the decision at Folio to commission Fay for the current artwork deserves a medal.
I also received LALD, and read it from cover to cover on Christmas Day with occasional meal breaks, because what are holidays for?
