Description: The Worm Ouroboros by E.R. Eddison Cover by Tim Hildebrandt (signed) Illustrations by Keith Henderson Introduction and Note by Paul Edmund Thomas Foreword by Douglas E. Winter (signed) First Dell Printing Description: Trade paperback published by Dell Books in 1991. The copyright page states 'July 1991' and the printing status bar is complete, making this a first printing. Previously published quite a few times, as far as I can tell, this is the first edition with a Tim Hildebrandt cover. Signed by cover artist Tim Hildebrandt on the title page without inscription or personalization. Inscribed 'For Ron with my best wishes' by Douglas E. Winter on the first page of his foreword. From the back cover: Witch-kings, swordmasters, and quests - On the far side of the eldritch darkness lies a world where two mighty forces are making ready for a war of kingdom against kingdom, warrior against witch, and honor against treachery. Greater than human and torn by greater passions than mere mortals can know, the adventure-loving lords of Demonland will be pitted against the cruel enchantments of the Witch-King Gorice XII. Now in glory and terror, as swords cross with clash of steel, they begin their odyssey toward a towering enchanted mountain where awaits salvation... or doom. E. R. Eddison's masterpiece stands as one of the great prototypes of modern fantasy fiction. An epic of marvels and magic, this wholly created world sets forth the intricately woven themes of high adventure, sorcery, and the primal conflict between good and evil that transport the imagination to visionary realms and paves the way of our favorite authors today. Condition: Binding - very good, spine bowed from having been carefully read, no spine or cover reading creases but there is a crease across the lower rear cover corner, lower page corners a little bumped and bent, minor tanning of the top page edges. Dust jacket - none, as issued.
