 near-identical editions/printings sharing merkin-printed covers, and hence also cat#,

cover art by jack gaughan (credited and signed, originally for & on the 1978 athaneum h/cvr d-j)
b+w frontispiece by jack gaughan (signed with his jg monogram)
near-meaningless daw books collectors number 353
but cover prices differ: $1.95 (merkin), $2.25 (canadadian)
192pp. including titles, indica etc, end pp.

refer to indica to see if carcass of copy held was canadadian- or merkin- printed.
no priority established nor liable to be, both bearing first printing month and year date,
printing history number-string 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
as opposed to third printing's number-string, the diminished 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
(copies of this third exist with a white oval "signet $2.25" sticker over the $1.95 front cover price.)

1/1983 (date from jaffery) fourth printing retains cover art, but differs:
cover price $2.50
cat# UE1794
isbn 0879977949
daw books collectors number is dropped from cover
indica printing number-string 4 5 6 7 8 9

undated (9/1987 from locus) fifth printing has redesigned, much bolder typography,
cover art retained
cat# UE2250
isbn 0886772508
cover price $3.95 (canada), $2.95 u.s.
(so should be flagged international according to respected moderator's rule)
in two lines above the new monogram daw logo towards bottom of spine edge of cover, and daw books collectors number reappears below this
indica number-string 5 6 7 8 9

(2006 mmpb is from tor books, q.v.)

 set in the advanced dungeons & dragons role-playing gameworld of greyhawk, with gary gygax's enthusiastic permission.

candidate for first published novel set in a proprietary role-playing game universe.

cat# is UJ1487

 Review
awful. was written to complete the andre norton alphabet of novels - a fan pointed out she'd almost the entire alphabet, missing "q" and (iirc) one - or two - other letter/s: but that doesn't justify this pale, thin fictionalisation of a frpg adventure. even though it's probably the first use of an frpg world as the setting of a fantasy novel - avoid.

 cat# is^W was wrong, now corrected.

should be re-flagged u.s.a.

sequel is "return to quag keep" andré norton and jean rabe (2006), q.v.
