Giveaway! 'The Dragonbone Chair' - Tad Williams

Way, way back in the day when I picked up Tad Williams' 'The Dragonbone Chair' (for the first time) the cover looked like this...



Well... my book actually had a blue border but I couldn't find a decent picture to go here, you get the general idea though! ;o)

Orbit have given this series a brand new look and very nice it is too :o) If you pick up a copy of 'The Dragonbone Chair' these days then this is what you will be looking at...



I've got a nostalgic hankering for the old cover but it's still rather nice isn't it? :o) If I was asked to give a list of my favourite fantasy series then 'Memory, Sorrow and Thorn' would be right near the top of the pile. It's one that I think every fantasy fan should read if they haven't already. With that in mind I've got three copies of 'The Dragonbone Chair' to give away to people who either fancy giving it a go, for the first time, or who simply want to replace their old copy (UK and European entries only though, sorry everyone else!)



Do you want in? All you need to do is drop me an email (address at the top right hand side of the screen) telling me who you are and what your mailing address is. I'll do the rest...

I'll let this one run until the 21st of June and announce the winners on the 22nd.

Good Luck!

This giveaway lightens my day. I read the German edition and it is still one of my favorite series. And I still remember one name which fascinated me since I read it:
BINBINEQEGABENIK
This is the full name of the troll Binabik from the Quanuk tribe.

I really would like to re-read it in English.

This is the cover of the German edition of DRAGONBONE CHAIR. But to be honest the new covers are not that bad.

Loved the first covers of the series, I also had the one with the blue border...Still have fond memoeries of this trilogy...one of the first fantasy after Tolkien and Vance that I read...

Cool prize!
I re-read the Dragonbone Chair not so long ago and remembered why I enjoyed it. I may have to take the remainder of the series on holiday.

If it wasn't for the fact that I still haven't read 'Toll the Hounds' and 'Return of the Crimson Guard' I'd seriously consider taking these books on holiday for a long overdue re-read. I love this series :o)
