Demian's Thoughts: |
This is probably one of the nicest-looking gamebook releases ever. The first two books are reproduced exactly (though slightly enlarged) on high-quality paper in a sturdy hardback with the color map shared by both adventures on the back of the dust jacket. I believe that some copies were autographed, though my own is not. |
Shadeheart's Thoughts: |
[Rating: 2/10] This omnibus duology is pretty much everything one might expect it to be: a faithful reprinting of the first two Lone Wolf books, nothing else. As both the books are of varying degrees of quality (and as I had already read both titles before coming across this edition), my initial readthrough of this two-book retread left me somewhat disappointed; there's nothing particularly convincing about this book to readers who already own copies of the included titles, and as such I find that I can only recommend it to the most ardent collectors out there. I can't help but wonder why this book was released in the first place: the series was still growing rapidly and widely available at the time, and the adventures themselves seem better suited to mass market paperback format, so... this was perhaps a misfire from the series' early days. Still, it's not all that bad - just a bit questionable as to WHY it was ever made. ^^ (Mysteriously disappears into the shadows.) |
