Sobre este artículo
The Blood of Roses by Tanith Lee Hardcover First Edition - First Printing London: Legend UK, 1990. (never released in the US) Signed and dated by the late Tanith Lee. Cover illustration by Jeff Willis.
Fine- in Fine Dust Jacket. A beautiful copy. The boards are clean, corners, straight, binding solid. The lettering on the spine is bright and clean (the scan doesn't do it justice.) The main shortcoming is some superficial soiling and a superficial damp stain to the bottom edge of the text block, not affecting the inner pages at all. For some reason, copies seem to be prone to soiling on the text block edge, a notorious problem for this edition.
Tanith Lee (1947-2015) may be the most underrated modern fantasy writer of the 20th and early 21st century. Her prose style reads like poetry and her themes were often mythological usually medieval in inspiration. Sadly Tanith Lee left us in 2015. Many of her early books had small print-runs, but quite a few have remained in print. Her first book was the Dragon Hoard and her magnum opus is probably the fantasy series "Tales from the Flat Earth", including "Night's Master", "Death's Master", "Delusion's Master", "Delirium's Mistress", somewhat inspired by Jack Vance's "The Dying Earth" series. She will be sorely missed.
NOTE: All modern books with dust jackets come with dust jacket covers.
