Both The Sorcerer's Ship and Beyond the Golden Stair were previously published as part of

We'll be including Ballantine Adult Fantasy editor Lin Carter's introductions to
The Sorcerer's Ship and Beyond The Golden Stair.

An all-new afterword detailing the history of The Sorcerer's Ship by
Bok collector and college professor William Lorenzo.

Bok's Unknown World's art for The Sorcerer's Ship will be included, plus two paintings specified
by the artist as illustrating that novel: a color reprise of the ship illustration and a
color portrait of the creature Yanuk done for a Jack Cordes.

Legendary fantasy artist and Bok aficionado Jim Pitts provided all-new
Frontispieces for Beyond The Golden Stair and Starstone World
