ppint. 19th Feb 2019		hadn't realised how far behind i'd got with darkover, and ordered the ones i'd not stocked, nor ever seen on sale "since i.m.t": i must stop doing series listings of authors & series i've liked - it's expensive!



ppint. 19th Feb 2019		daw books near-identical first printings sharing merkin-printed covers, first edition cover art & b+w frontispiece by jack gaughan (cover credited, both signed: b+w with his "jg" monogram) near-meaningless daw books number 36 cover price 95¢ 160pp. including titles, indicia etc. refer to indicia to see if carcass of copy held was canadadian- or merkin- printed. no priority established nor liable to be, both bear first printing, month & year date. third printing (9/1976 from locus #194) and canadadian-carcassed fourth printing (9/1976 from jaffery) have new cover art by george barr, cover price $1.25, cat# UY1256. george barr's cover art is retained through at least the twentieth daw books mmpb printing.

ppint. 29th Jul 2019		Review although this is the first novel by internal chronology, it is not a good place to start reading the darkover stories, as the unique darkovan neo-medieval society with a nobility based upon the laran abilities the families have selectively bred to defend themselves and their clients has not even started to develop. reading "landfall", therefore, is best left until after one's image of the world, and the comyn-dominated society of the classic period, has become well-enough established for the events immediately surrounding the inadvertent forced human colonisation of what is fundamentally an only marginally suitable planet to have become a matter of interest.

ppint. 29th Jul 2019		hutchinson publishing group arrow books p/b first printing, first uk edition cover art by melvyn grant (signed "melvyn", uncredited) cover price 80p, $2.70 australia, $2.50 canada so should be re-flagged "international" according to respected moderator's rule - or not so re-flagged, according to equally well-respected moderator's heartfelt plea 160pp. including titles, indicia etc. (this comment is from another edition of this book)



ppint. 16th Feb 2019		the general design of this reprint's cover is identical with that of the then-forthcoming arrow books' editions published in their imminent new "legend" relaunched sf & f series, later to become an imprint in its own right, but n.b. it bears neither the legend series name, nor the legend logo.
