HOT! And you can clearly see the text to Pathfinder #37 in the background (if you close your eyes and squint). :P
"Who is this Dake?" muttered Drake to Drake.
LOL, fixed!
That's whopping? I guess I've become jaded after struggling through George R. R. Martin, Robert Jordan and Steven Erikson. :)

Remember, this one is run double-column, in super-tall trade paperback format. For an idea of scale, when another publisher tried to do this book in mass market paperback many years ago, it was so big they had to split it into two fat paperbacks.
Needless to say, your Jordan- and Martin-acclimated tastes will be appeased. :)

yup, Anubus Murders is 208 or so pages (with a 15 page foreward) where the old versions are 325 pages. so that would make this a 600+ page book in a regular sized paperback. In fact, the import version of this on amazon is 785 pages.

I am relatively certain that the size of this book (and the first and last books in the "series") has more to do with these stories remaining out of print than any other factor. Printing a book like this is expensive!
But so, so worth it. I really enjoy this one. It's a super-fun read, and goes remarkably quickly for a book of its size.

So how many words is this one, Erik?
I'm glad we got us a Texas-sized book now in this here series.
Well, I am looking foreward to this.

I'm looking forward to reading the foreword.

Walrus is about 230,000.
For the record, a novel is technically anything over about 50,000 words. A typical Pathfinder novel (300-350 pages) is about 100,000.
So basically, you're looking at four Mike Moorcock novels. :)

If I glance the second to top shelf of my rightmost bookshelf, I can look at way more than four Moorcocks. Is that the best you can do? :-P
Bring us the Nomad of Time, says this Moorcock fan!
Yoda - amateur. I've got in excess of 20 books each for several authors :) In excess of 40 for a few.
More than 40?
That limits the authors you could be talking about. I think there's only 4 or 5 authors I have more than 40 books by. Asimov? Heinlein? Burroughs?
Moorcock and David Drake don't break 30 for me, and David Weber doesn't break 40, but I've got a soft spot for Alan Dean Foster, so I have quite a few of his books :)
EDIT: And, I notice, it's a travesty that I have more Piers Anthony books than Michael Moorcock books. Bring on those four books, Erik!
Oh yeah!
Larry Niven too, at 42.
