THE SWORD OF SHANNARA

First edition, first printing. British issue. Publisher's original quarter black cloth with purple titles to the spine, brown paper covered boards with author's initials stamped in metallic purple to the upper board, in the Greg and Jim Hildebrandt illustrated dustwrapper. A very good or better copy, the binding square and firm with a little bumping to the spine tips, the boards bright and fresh. The contents are clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the lightly rubbed and creased dustwrapper that is without fading, loss or tears. Not price-clipped (£6.95 net to the lower front flap).

The author's first book, an epic fantasy and the first volume in what would become The Sword of Shannara trilogy. The British issue, utilising the sheets and binding of the US Random House first edition with a 'Raven Books' UK printed dustwrapper, is scarce.
