Etat : Very Good -. Third edition, limited. 55; 538pp. Quarto [30cm]. Primarily bound in original black cloth, with elaborate gilt stamped design on the front board. Gilt topstain. Professionally and tastefully rebacked in matte, black goatskin with two gilt stamped labels bearing title, author and publisher. Other subtle restoration work includes reinforcement of the hinges and replacement of the tissue paper protecting frontispiece. There is sporadic foxing, and the "List of Illustrations" page is detached, but present. Complete, with 22 full page or double-page illustrations. Hundreds of small, intricate in-text illustrations and initials. The first edition of this volume marked Aubrey Beardsley's first commision as an illustrator. The publisher intended a straightforward contribution to the Gothic revival movement (inspired by William Morris' Kelmscott Press) but Beardsley's style, fresh and distinctive, instead helped define the emerging Art Nouveau movement. He was considered a controversial figure in Art Nouveau, satirizing Victorian morality by embracing the dark and grotesque. This third edition was limited to 1,600 copies. It includes 10 illustrations omitted from the first along with two illustrations previously unprinted in "Le Morte d'Arthur.".…

A superb example of Moorcock's classic fantasy saga. The definitive Elric saga. Issued in an edition of 300 copies, from which each volume is numbered 229, and signed by the author Michael Moorcock in every volume, the illustrators Piotr Jablonski, Tom Kidd, Richard Hescox, Tyler Jacobson, Brom, Rodney Matthews, Grant Griffin and Brian Leblanc, and by the authors of the introductions Holly Black, Neil Gaiman, Michael Chabon, Walter Mosley, Alan Moore, Eric Bloom, Rhys Hughes, and Paul Di Filippo in black green and blue ink on the colophon. A sprawling fantasy-adventure series that traverses time and space, the 'Elric' saga follows sorcerer and warrior Elric of Melniboné ('The Albino Prince') through many daring quests and thrilling battles wielding the lethal soul-eating sword, Stormbringer. SFWA Grand Master Michael Moorcock is a multi award-winning science fiction and fantasy author, editor and recording musician, who has contributed to rock bands Hawkwind and Blue Öyster Cult. His melancholy 'Elric' character first appeared in the 1961 novelette 'The Dreaming City' (Science Fantasy Magazine, Issue 47), with a fix-up novel featuring the character 'Stormbringer' later published in 1965, comprising four previously published short stories from Science Fantasy Magazine. 'Stormbringer' was revised and rereleased in 1977, and now acts as the sixth chronological novel in the series. After initially only appearing serially, the first full-length 'Elric' novel 'Elric of Melniboné' was published as a hardcover in the UK by Hutchinson in September 1972, with a softcover edition released in the US shortly thereafter under the title 'The Dreaming City'. Moorcock received several nominations for Locus Awards for his later 'Elric' novels and was notably nominated for the 1977 World Fantasy Award for 'The Sailor on the Seas of Fate' (1976: Quartet Books). For this extensive publication project by Centipede Press, the titles, contents, and order of the works appear exactly as Moorcock intended for the first time since their original release. As of April 2026, the set comprises eight volumes of a total nine books planned. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request. All items are catalogued by humans.
