The Sailor on the Seas of Fate

This mass-market paperback shows moderate wear, with noticeable creasing on the cover and spine. The pages are yellowed, indicating age, but remain intact and legible. The cover art by Michael Whelan is still vibrant, despite the wear. There is no dust jacket, as expected for this format. Overall, the book is in fair condition, suitable for collectors interested in vintage fantasy editions.

"The Sailor on the Seas of Fate" by Michael Moorcock, published by DAW Books, Inc. in New York in 1976, is a seminal work in the fantasy genre. This edition is the first DAW printing, released in December 1976, and features cover art by the renowned Michael Whelan. Moorcock's influence in fantasy literature is significant, particularly through his creation of the character Elric of Melniboné, a cornerstone of the sword and sorcery subgenre. This mass-market paperback is a prime example of Moorcock's imaginative storytelling, blending elements of fantasy and science fiction. While out of print in this specific edition, it remains a sought-after piece for collectors of classic fantasy literature. The book is in fair condition, showing signs of wear consistent with age, but remains a valuable addition to any collection.
