Comments may contain spoilers
I bought this book in high school because I really liked the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant.  If I would have known what the book was like I wouldn't have bought it.  It contains mostly line drawings, maps.  I was expecting a little more fleshed out artwork.  I think I got this from the Science Fiction Book Club.
Synopsis (may contain spoilers)
This is the authorized Atlas of the Land, the fantasy realm that Thomas Covenant visited in The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever.

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
