Two
new Russian omnibuses in 2017 |
|
|
5 Jan
2017
Also
from Ralf Lux came the news of two forthcoming Russian hardcover
omnibuses, Древняя Африка
(Ancient Africa)
and Темное сердце
(Dark Heart).
Both will be published this year, 2017, by publisher Северо-Запад
(Severo-Zapad, translated: Northwest) in St. Petersburg. In the series
'Приключения (синяя серия)', translated: 'Adventure (blue series)'.
None of these works have
been
translated and published in Russia before. The publisher misses the
chance to publish all three Opar books together, the third one The
Song of Kwasin written by Farmer and Christopher Paul Carey.
I haven't been able to order the books, because they are not yet
published. A firm publication date is not yet set.
Vielen dank Ralf!

Confirmation
of the ghost edition |
|

4 Jan
2017
From
my German friend Ralf Lux, webmaster of Clifford
D. Simak - The International Bibliography, I got an e-mail
about the Italian ghost edition from the previous entry (13 Dec 2016).
He too had found fake covers of the Italian Urania magazine, a
total of twenty covers with the writings of Clifford D. Simak.
Two of these are in the Urania
Fantasy series, as you can see above. None of the twenty
issues have actually been published.
Ralf found the source several years ago on the internet:
«Etwa im
Jahre 2012 hat irgendein Italiener massenhaft solche Cover
gefertigt.» (In about 2012 an Italian person made many of
these
covers.)
With a computer and the right software it isn't very difficult to make
these fake covers.
My conclusion with the
previous entry, that the Farmer cover is of a phantom or ghost edition
is confirmed with Ralf's e-mail.
Thank you Ralf!
