After the King: Stories in Honor of J.R.R. Tolkien – Uncorrected Proof
Tor Fantasy / Tom Doherty Associates, 1992
A scarce **advance uncorrected proof** of After the King, a fantasy anthology edited by Martin H. Greenberg and issued by Tor in celebration of J.R.R. Tolkien’s 100th birthday.
This edition includes contributions by some of the most acclaimed fantasy authors of the 20th century, including:
Terry Pratchett – “Troll Bridge”
Stephen R. Donaldson – “Reave the Just”
Patricia A. McKillip – “The Fellowship of the Dragon”
Charles de Lint, Andre Norton, Jane Yolen, Dennis L. McKiernan, and more
Printed in yellow wraps and marked “Advance Uncorrected Proofs,” this early copy includes a full contents list (with 22 original stories), an introduction by Jane Yolen, and publication info showing a release date of January 1992 and a list price of $24.95.
The book is in **near fine condition**: clean and unmarked internally, tight spine, crisp corners, and minimal surface wear to the wraps. A very well-preserved example of this highly collectible proof format.
Notable for the early appearance of Terry Pratchett’s “Troll Bridge” — a landmark proof in modern fantasy history.
