DARRELL SCHWEITZER. Refugees from an Imaginary Country. 1st ed. SIGNED trade pb

Description: REFUGEES FROM AN IMAGINARY COUNTRY by DARRELL SCHWEITZER. W. Paul Ganley: Publisher & Owlswick Press, 1999. 1st edition. TRADE PAPERBACK. Normally unsigned, but I will sign it for you. I can say, objectively because I am not the artist, that this is a beautiful book, exhibiting the master illustrator FABIAN at the height of his powers. I can also point out that for all I may do a lot of conventions and sign everything in sight, he does not. (Despite my long professional relationship with him I have only met him twice.) Therefore his signature is a lot scarcer than mine. Now, as for the actual content, this is, I believe, and was certainly assembled at the time to be my best collection. 19 of my very best stories, from the 1990s mostly, originally published in MASQUES IV, INTERZONE, MARION ZIMMER BRADLEY'S FANTASY MAG, FEAR, WEIRD TALES, DARK DESTINY, PULPHOUSE, etc. I can give you my Personal Guarantee, which is that if you can read this cover-to-cover and not find anything you like, you have my permission to given up reading my fiction and I won't bother you again. I can honestly speculate that this probably would have made the World Fantasy Award ballot if it had been submitted to the judges. It wasn't because 1) Paul Ganley was one of the judges and there would have been a conflict of interest and 2) NECROMANCIES AND NETHERWORLDS (see previous listing) got on the ballot and we decided not to compete against it. But this is my best. No kidding. THE NEW YORK REVIEW OF SCIENCE FICTION said of this book, "The real imaginary country is where all fantasy writers are this good." Yeah, they liked it. The price being asked is the publishers' list price. The publishers are both semi-retired these days so I've got the remaining stock in my garage. So this book doesn't get much distribution anymore, alas. Note that the copy in the picture shows the jacket in a mylar protector. The one you receive will be like this. ALWAYS WILLING TO COMBINE SHIPPING on multiple wins. Please note that the foreign postage prices are a guess. If they prove too high, I will refund the difference. //
