Ballantine Adult Fantasy Series
Edited by Lin Carter

Hi there.
This set is in the process of being completed. Of the original 65 1st printings I'm only missing one (Land Of Unreason). Also I'm in the process of upgrading about 6 titles and degrading a few titles that are in Fine condition. My goal was to have all these books around Very Good condition. In addition to the original titles and their reprints with the unicorn logo I'm trying to get the 1st printings of the few other related titles that carter would have put into the series if they had not been printed already by Ballantine. A handful of those titles do have the unicorn logo in later printings.

If you only want the original 65 titles, only books with the Unicorn logo, or want to add the Other Lovecraft titles with Gervasio Gallardo cover art? Please make an offer.


  Published by Ballantine Books
  Mostly 1st Prints
  Format: Paperback
  Date:1969-1974
  Cover price: Mostly $.95 -$1.25
  Cover art by Gervasio Gallardo, Bob Pepper and others.
