Ever since I bought the fourth book in Fritz Leiber’s Fafhrd and Gray Mouser series in the new edition from Centipede Press, I’ve been eagerly awaiting the fifth one. Anticipation is a cruel mistress. I already had all the books in paperback, plus the final one in hardcover, but nothing beats the gorgeous editions produced by Centipede Press.
I learned just recently that the fifth book might be available to purchase in the next week or so, which only serves to heighten my expectations. Not only are the stories exciting to read again, but the bonus material is always a treat. This is one case where maybe I’m not a haphazard collector, although I stay with the unsigned versions, hoping to convince myself that this is a sane budgetary decision.
