One of the Time 100 Best Fantasy Books Of All Time WINNER OF THE HUGO AND LOCUS AWARDS FOR BEST ART BOOK Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the timeless and beloved A Wizard of Earthsea that “reads like the retelling of a tale first told centuries ago” (David Mitchell)—this complete omnibus edition of the entire Earthsea chronicles, including over fifty illustrations illuminating Le Guin’s vision of her classic saga by Hugo and Locus Award-winning artist, Charles Vess.Ursula K. Le Guin’s Earthsea novels are some of the most acclaimed and awarded works in literature—they have received prestigious accolades such as the National Book Award, a Newbery Honor, the Nebula Award, and many more honors, commemorating their enduring place in the hearts and minds of readers and the literary world alike. Now for the first time ever, they’re all together in one volume—including the early short stories, Le Guin’s “Earthsea Revisioned” Oxford lecture, and a new Earthsea story, never before printed. With a new introduction by Le Guin herself, this essential edition will also include fifty illustrations by renowned artist Charles Vess, specially commissioned and selected by Le Guin, to bring her refined vision of Earthsea and its people to life in a totally new way. [Stories include: “A Wizard of Earthsea”, “The Tombs of Atuan”, “The Farthest Shore”, “Tehanu”, “Tales From Earthsea”, “The Other Wind”, “The Rule of Names”, “The Word of Unbinding”, “The Daughter of Odren”, and “Earthsea Revisioned: A Lecture at Oxford University”.] With stories as perennial and universally beloved as The Chronicles of Narnia and The Lord of The Rings—but also unlike anything but themselves—this edition is perfect for those new to the world of Earthsea, as well as those who are well-acquainted with its enchanting magic: to know Earthsea is to love it.

Amazing books, great print with author’s commentary
In addition to having all the Earthsea books, this print contains afterwords from the author and illustrations. The print cover is well-made. Of course it’s a bit cumbersome but that is expected due to size.

Premium, gorgeous, thick hardback from S&S/Saga Press is well worth it.
My review is not for the books themselves, you can make up your own mind about that, but for the S&S/Saga Press publication. For the $35 I paid this is a beautiful edition of these novels. A five-pound monster that's several inches thick, it's not going to fit comfortably in one hand, but it's absolutely lovely, with great cover art and interior illustrations printed on glossy paper, excellent formatting, and a generally premium level of attention to detail. Whether you're a fan of the books or new to them, you can't go wrong with this gorgeous edition.

Beautiful Book
I love the Earthsea series and this is a beautiful book. I needed Daughter of Odren and wanted this book anyway, even though that's just a short story. First time I got it the pages were all folded in because the delivery driver clearly checked to see if it was valuable (it's very weighty!) but I sent it back and got a mint copy. Lovely book.
