Checklist of Zelazny limited editions

Here's a longer list that I created of all Zelazny limited editions
that I know of. I'm posting this in order to invite any
additions/corrections that I might have overlooked, and as a service to
any Zelazny collector who might be interested to have this information.


I can vouch for the existence of all of these from my collection, with
the exception of one of the half-leather Ultramarine editions (I know
it exists, just don't have it) and a few PC editions (ditto).

Some limited editions (eg This Immortal from Easton Press; The Bells of
Shoredan; Poems) were issued unsigned but a few copies were signed by
Zelazny on an individual basis. Most Easton Press titles were issued
after his death and therefore are not available signed by him.

I haven't included limited edition multi-author anthologies that
included Zelazny's work (eg Ten Tales) because then the list would get
really unwieldy. But I did include the chapbook The Bands of Titan
even though that is actually a three-author anthology. And I mentioned
Amber Dreams and Amberzine just for fun. Ditto for the GRRM/Zelazny
chapbook Last Defender of Camelot.

Comments are invited to help make the list complete. I may be missing
mention of PC (Publisher's or Presentation Copies) for some titles.

That's a phantom, an non-existent item. Ultramarine did *not* do
limited editions of Sign of Chaos, and in fact there were no limited
editions of that book. I had checked it out with the publisher, Chris
P Stephens of Ultramarine. What happened is the Underwood/Miller did
the limiteds of Trumps & Blood, and then dropped the option to do the
rest of the series. By the time Stephens realized what had happened,
it was considered too late to do Sign of Chaos because the trade
edition had long since appeared. So he picked it up with Knight of
Shadows and then Prince of Chaos.

Another Phantom is that some booksellers list an Ultramarine edition of
Deus Irae, but that never happened either. Again, I double-checked it
with the publisher.
