Finally, here’s the list of Moorcock omnibus editions I bought off Mike. I didn’t pick them when these originally came out due to both budgetary constraints and already possessing a great deal of the contents. But many of these volumes include material not in any other edition, and both the Millennium and White Wolf omnibus editions have gotten harder to find as of late.
Moorcock, Michael. Corum: The Prince With the Silver Hand. White Wolf, 1999. First U.S. hardback edition thus, being an omnibus edition of The Bull and The Spear, The Oak and the Ram, and The Sword and the Stallion, a Fine copy in a Fine dust jacket. Inscribed to me by Moorcock. “Michael Moorcock/To Lawrence/All best!” Previously published in an omnibus edition as The Swords Trilogy by Gregg Press (which I also have a signed first of). Contains Mike Mignola art not in the Millennium edition.
Moorcock, Michael. Count Brass. White Wolf, 2000. First U.S. hardback edition, a Fine copy in a Fine dust jacket. Inscribed to me by Moorcock: “To Lawrence/Very best.” Omnibus edition of Count Brass, The Champion of Garathorm and The Quest for Tanelorn. There were earlier UK hardback editions from Granada (as The Chronicles of Count Brass) and Millennium; the White Wolf edition contains new artwork by Walter Simonsen and a map by Jim Cawthorn not in any previous editions. Eternal Champion Volume 15. I think this was the last Moorcock book White Wolf did, and after 2000 they went back to concentrating strictly on gaming-related books.
Moorcock, Michael. The Dancers at the End of Time. White Wolfe, 1995. First White Wolf hardback, a Fine copy in a Near Fine dust jacket with three closed tears at heel, the largest 1/4″, and a trace of haze rubbing. Omnibus edition of An Alien Heat, The Hollow Lands, and The End of All Songs.
Moorcock, Michael. Earl Aubec and other stories. White Wolf, 1999. First edition hardback thus, a Fine- copy with page 25/26 creased at the very edge in a Fine- dust jacket with a touch of blind-side dye transfer at the outer edge crease. Inscribed to me by Moorcock: “To Lawrence/All very best/from/Michael Moorcock.” Short story collection. Reprint of the Millennium volume, but I can’t find a content listing for the Millennium volume anywhere online to see if the contents differ, though at least the introduction is new to this volume.
Moorcock, Michael. Elric: Song of the Black Sword. White Wolf, 1995. First edition hardback thus, reprinting the Millennium Elric of Melniboné omnibus, with a new introduction and new (and hideous) cover art, a Fine copy in a Fine dust jacket. Inscribe to me by Moorcock: “Michael Moorcock/To Lawrence/Very best!”
Moorcock, Michael. Elric: The Stealer of Souls. White Wolf, 1998. First edition hardback thus, a reprint of the Millennium Stormbringer omnibus volume, but with a new introduction, new art, and the new John Davey essay “Elric: A Reader’s Guide,” a Fine copy in a Fine dust jacket. Inscribed to me by Moorcock: “To Lawrence/All best/Michael Moorcock.”
Moorcock, Michael. The Eternal Champion. Millennium, 1992. First edition hardback thus, an omnibus edition containing The Eternal Champion, Phoenix in Obsidian, and The Dragon in the Sword, a Fine- copy in a Fine dust jacket, inscribed to my by Moorcock: “To Lawrence,/All best.” Yoshitaka Amano cover. Millennium Eternal Champion series Volume 2. Precedes the White Wolf edition by a couple of years.
Moorcock, Michael. Hawkmoon. White Wolfe, 1995. First White Wolf hardback, a Fine copy in a Fine- dust jacket with just a trace of bend at head and some blind-side black dye transfer to just the inner creases of the flap folds. Inscribed to me by Moorcock: “To Lawrence,/All very best,/Michael Moorcock.” There were two early editions, as The History of the Runestaff in the 1970s and a Millennium edition of the same name, but this edition contains material not in either of those, including a new Moorcock introduction and new art and maps by James Cawthorn.
Moorcock, Michael. Von Bek. Millennium, 1992. First edition hardback thus, an omnibus edition of The Warhound and the World’s Pain, The City in the Autumn Stars, and “The Pleasure Garden of Filipe Sagittarius,” a Fine copy in a Fine- dust jacket with a slight edge wrinkling at top front, and slight crimping at head and heel. Inscribed to me by Moorcock: “To Lawrence,/An v. last!” Tale of the Eternal Champion Vol. 1. No additional printings mentioned, but also no numberline as mentioned by a few online dealers. Looks like a first printing to me, and neither ISFDB nor the Locus database lists a second Millennium hardback printing.
