Subject: (glencook-fans) Art of the Black Company?

Has any publisher ever put out a collection of the various covers used
for the BC?  I know for example, that the Science Fiction book club has
collections with different covers than the paperbacks.

You're right - I was confusing the place with the person.  Arawn was
lord of Annwn (also Annwfn also Annuvin).

My original reference for this was Lloyd Alexander's "The Book of
Three" - and yes, I know there are discrepancies between
Alexander's Arawn and the one from traditional Welsh mythology.

For more scholarly references I have "Celtic Mythology" by Geddes
Grosset which names Arawn as the Welsh lord of the Otherworld
(Annwn, or land of the dead) and "The Oxford Dictionary of Celtic
Mythology" by James Mackillop which defines the "otherworld" as a
place where the dead wait to be reborn.

"The Oxford Dictionary of Celtic Mythology" also lists Donn as the
Irish god of the dead, residing over Tech Duinn (realm of the
dead/house of the dead).

I could go on...but this is way off topic.  Contact me off list if you
want more references.

All I have to say about collecting is EBAY, EBAY, EBAY.   I find complete
sets of the Garret Novels and Black comapny there all the time, as well as
many of the other hard to find books.  I've also had good luck with the
Wierd Book Store online, whose IP address I have currently failed to find.
:P

My God Eric. Until reading your post and verifying with the cover on your
site I would have bet my soul it was Swamp Academy. The eyes see what they
want too I guess... err in this case I guess my eyes just didn't know what
they wanted to see.. uhm nevermind.

Everything in paperback except for Swap Acadamy, and all major
publications except for Swap Acadamy and Sung In Blood.  I don't have
any magazines.
Good luck on getting everything.

Owning all his stuff is my goal, although this is an especially difficult

 here.  I've been doing it for about 5 years now and I've got about 16  books.
The other thing is I refuse to read the dread empire series until I  own
