Editor: James Lowder

This massive anthology collects more than a dozen thrilling tales from R.A. Salvatore, Michael A. Stackpole, Monte Cook, Ed Greenwood, Elaine Cunningham, and more, providing an exciting overview of the original worlds and characters of authors who achieved their greatest fame writing stories they do not own. Edited by James Lowder (The Book of All Flesh, Prince of Lies), Worlds of Their Own presents an unprecedented sampler of fantasy and science-fiction adventure tales from some of the best-loved and best-known authors in the genre.

Are these original short stories or ones that have been published elsewhere and are being reprinted in this collection?

Specifically, I'm wondering what Stackpole story it is, if it is indeed one that was published earlier.

Worlds of Their Own collects existing stories from a wide variety of sources (some of them very obscure). We'll post a contents list in the coming months.

Eric, going by the "massive" description and the higher price, is this going to be a trade paperback the same height/width as the other Planet Stories trade paperbacks, albeit with a higher pagecount?

Or is it going to be one of the larger size of trade paperbacks? (roughly the height/width of a typical hardcover, but softcover)

PS. This has to be the one that I'm most interested in for 2008, as Michael Stackpole is one of my favorite authors, hands down.

This looks sooo tasty. Jim Lowder editing? I'm in!

I've added the full author and story listing as well as the final cover image (if you don't see a person walking a fantastic landscape, reload your browser's image cache).

Teresake,

Typically, the normal-sized paperback is referred to as "mass market paperback." The "trade paperbacks" are indeed larger, and generally carries a higher price. Hope that helps. Personally, I prefer the trade paperbacks...they're easier to comfortably read.

Hey, Erik, this looks *fantastic*! I really like the novella form, but in some ways prefer short stories.

That is one heck of an author list!

Question: is Worlds of Their Own part of the Planet Stories subscription or a standalone book outside the line? (I hope the former. Heh).

It's included in the subscription.

Is the Gary Gygax story part of his Setne Inhetep series? Please tell me yes. :-)

Has it become an option to have this shipped with my other subscription stuff or is Gary still working on that feature?

You can't combine non-subscription orders with subscription shipments yet— but there's still time to subscribe to Planet Stories before this book ships!
