    Library Addition: Stephen Fabian’s Crystal of a Hundred Dreams Portfolio

    Thursday, May 18th, 2017

    Another odd Jack-Vance related item:

    Fabian, Stephen. Crystal of a Hundred Dreams: A Portfolio by Stephen E. Fabian. Underwood/Miller, 1979. First edition oversized softbound art portfolio, one of 550 sets produced, a Fine copy, still in shrinkwrap. Illustrations from the U/M Jack Vance books The Eyes of the Overworld, The Seventeen Virgins and The Bagful of Dreams. Chalker/Owings (1991), page 431 (where they note it’s “Uncommon,” most sets having been broken up and framed). Bought for $55 from a fellow Jack Vance collector.

    Hard to get a good pick, since it’s too big for the scanner and I kept getting light bounce from the shrinkwrap….
