About This Item
First edition hardback, a Fine- copy with a trace of foxing along inner gutters (a common flaw) in a Fine- dust jacket with a trace of wear at points and along spine join at heel, but, unlike so many copies, NO remainder speckling at head or heel. Davidson's most acclaimed fantasy, telling the story of an alchemist Virgil Magus' quest to create a "virgin speculum," a magic mirror that had never reflected a human's face, and his quest to rescue the beautiful princess shown there. Pringle, Modern Fantasy 100 #43. Recommended. Not a difficult book, but nice copies are not as common as they used to be.
