Salt Lake City: Signature Books, 1998. Second edition. Leather. 646 pp. Full red leather, title and author in gilt on spine; blind stamped symbols on front cover, marbled endsheets, blue silk ribbon. 200 copies of this edition bound in leather by the publisher (not numbered).
As the first edition of Magic World View went out of print and prices for used copies rose, Michael Quinn told the publisher to hold off on reprinting until a revised edition could be completed. Due to the press of other projects, it was a full decade until Quinn could return to the revision. Working quickly, he added a huge amount of new material, more than doubling the page count in the second edition. For better or worse, one of his main goals was to respond to reviews, which led to entertaining-if barbed-sections. Since one of the main concerns for Quinn in publishing a second edition was cost, no hardback was ever produced. As a result, this striking leather edition is the only hardcover option. Produced in a relatively small quantity, this is a very collectible edition of an important book. Condition: As NEW. Item #7126
