The Books of Earthsea: The Complete Illustrated Edition by Ursula K. Le Guin, Illustrated by Charles Vess.  Saga Press, 2018. 9781481465588. 992pp.

I have a British paperback that contains the first four Earthsea novels that’s tattered from both my wife and I rereading it, but we both love it so much we’ll never throw it away. This brick of a book contains not only those first four books (my favorite is either A Wizard of Earthsea or The Farthest Shore, whichever I've reread most recently) plus Tales from Earthsea and The Other Wind, a few other related stories, and the text of a lecture Le Guin gave in 1992. Vess' drawings bring the entire book to life for me in a new way, which is saying something as these books live in my head. Most of the illustrations are black and white, though there's a color plate at the beginning of each book in this volume.

It's worth nothing that I've cheated -- I've flipped through the book several times without reading straight through just to look at the pictures. I find myself wanting a Vess-style dragon tattoo (or one of Ged's silhouette on Lookfar). My favorite drawing is of Ged sailing into the harbor to face the dragon of Pendor in the first book.

The binding seems extremely solid. While it's heavy and probably a bit too unwieldy to read while standing on a bus or subway, it's not too heavy to read while sitting. I still remember the effort it took to read the oversized two volume hardcover, The Complete Far Side. It was so worth the effort, but this book doesn't require the logistics or the muscles of a book that big. (Every time I come across a used copy of The Complete Far Side I imagine that someone hurt their back, or thought they might.)

going back to the backlist this #FlashbackFriday with Medicine Road by @charlesdelint, illustrated by Charles Vess! I was already a big de Lint fan when I read Medicine Road (which is quickly became my favorite of his books!) but would you believe I hadn't heard of Charles Vess? But I fell in love with these illustrations and quickly became obsessed * * * “Medicine Road is like a dish made with a few strongly flavored ingredients. It has its impact and lingers in the memory just as long as a complex, subtly seasoned meal might. I heartily recommend it.” —Green Man Review #books #bookstagram #charlesdelint #novella #charlesvess #medicineroad #fantasy #fantasybooks #sevenwildsisters #urbanfantasy #illustratedbooks #urbanfantasybooks #bookinterior https://www.instagram.com/p/B6CB-zYA8at/?igshid=1su9loeuyldpz

CHARLES VESS, MIGLIOR DISEGNATORE FANTASY 2019

… e come anticipato la settimana scorsa, oggi esce l’approfondimento su Charles Vess, Premio Hugo due volte quest’anno, come Miglior Disegnatore e per la categoria Miglior libro illustrato. In lingua italiana c’è veramente poco su questo disegnatore, in Rete, quindi ho preferito dare rilievo all’informazione e vedere un po’ quali sono state le sue opere più importanti. Niente analisi di stile. Per chi conosce almeno i tre artisti che cito all’inizio, le influenze sono evidenti. Buona visione!

Not gonna lie: I teared up when I unboxed this magnificent illustrated edition of the Books of Earthsea. Growing up, A Wizard of Earthsea by #UrsulaKLeGuin was one of my favorite books. And every time I read it, I find something new. It's a worldbuilding masterclass in a deceptively slim volume, and I've loved it all my life. Now to have an omnibus edition of the entire cycle, illustrated by #CharlesVess...I just can't. It looks like Kuma can't either. (Swipe for a video look to see how freakin' THICC this thing is!!!) #awizardofearthsea #thebooksofEarthsea #earthsea #ogionismydude #fantasy #majestic #books #amreading #magic #literature #classics Only in silence, the word Only in darkness, the light Only in dying, life Bright the hawk's flight On the empty sky https://www.instagram.com/p/BpkpSdDlHJF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4p69zsds8i0s
