The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror: Eighth Annual Collection, Ellen Datlow & Terri Windling (Editors) — First Edition

Publication: New York, St. Martin's Press, 1995

Formatting: 8vo, pp. N/A.

Condition Report: Near Fine. This volume presents exceptionally well, featuring a square and remarkably tight binding that suggests it has seen minimal, if any, reading wear. The publisher's original grey boards remain completely clean with sharp, unbumped corners, and the gilt lettering along the spine is bright and free from any signs of oxidation. Internally, the pages are crisp, bright, and devoid of foxing or marginalia, with only the faintest hint of superficial shelf-dusting to the very top edge of the text block. The original dust jacket is similarly well-preserved, vibrant, unclipped, and exhibiting negligible edgewear, and is currently protected in a clear archival sleeve.

Catalogue Note: This copy is a true first edition, first printing of the hardcover issue.

This variant was produced in significantly smaller print runs, primarily intended for institutional libraries and dedicated collectors. Consequently, locating a first edition hardcover in such an unblemished, non-ex-library state with a near-pristine dust jacket has become increasingly uncommon on the open market.

An essential cornerstone for any serious collector of speculative fiction, The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror: Eighth Annual Collection curates the most remarkable, chilling, and imaginative short fiction published over the preceding year. Under the expert editorial guidance of genre titans Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling, this monumental volume brings together an extraordinary roster of literary masters, including Stephen King, Neil Gaiman, Joyce Carol Oates, and Ursula K. Le Guin, offering a definitive and sweeping panorama of the era's dark and magical literary landscape.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
