MAGICIAN

First UK edition, first printing. Paperback issue. Publisher's original pictorial card covers. A superb very near fine copy, the binding square and tight, bright and fresh with just a hint of rubbing at the corners. The contents are clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. A seemingly unread example, scarce thus.

The author's first novel and first volume in the Riftwar Saga and extended Riftwar Cycle. First published in America in October 1982 by Doubleday, this first British edition followed early the following year. It was issued simultaneously in paperback and hardcover, both of which are scarcer than the American edition, the hardcover issue is somewhat of a black tulip.
