This is not an ordinary book: it's a BookCrossing book! BookCrossing books are world travelers - they like to have adventures and make new friends...and with your help, they can even write home to say what they've been doing! (You may remain anonymous if you wish.)

I've only read a few of the Darkover books, but this is one of them; I remember enjoying it at the time. This copy may be from Croyd's stash.

Cover art and frontispiece by Hannah M.G. Shapero.

Here's another copy on my BookCrossing shelf.

Marion Zimmer Bradley's legacy as an influential woman in science fiction and fantasy has been tainted by allegations of child sexual abuse revealed after the author's death.

I realize it's not Darkover's fault that its creator was so flawed, but Bradley is on my list of artists whose works I won't spend money on any more; I'm significantly less likely to read her stuff as well. :s
