Plot / Content Overview

This Tales II Trilogy gathers short fiction set across the legendary history of Krynn, including stories before the Cataclysm, during the upheaval of the Cataclysm itself, and in the War Years. The set features work by several major Dragonlance contributors, including Margaret Weis, Tracy Hickman, Michael Williams, Richard A. Knaak, Roger E. Moore, and Douglas Niles.

Collector's Notes

A good working set for readers who want the complete Tales II Trilogy without chasing each volume separately. These have visible wear, but for a Dragonlance shelf, gaming nostalgia corner, or fantasy paperback reader stack, they still have plenty of quest left in them.

Disclaimer

All items are vintage and may show signs of age, wear, or use consistent with their history. Photos show the exact condition of each piece—please review them carefully, as they are part of the description. 

Care and Handling:

Good to Know Before You Buy

Yes. Every photo on this page is the actual item you will receive. Not a stock photo, not a similar copy. What you see is what ships.

Honestly. This is vintage, so expect some age. When I find wear, writing, stains, loose pages, chips, or missing pieces, I note them and show them in the photos. Some marks add character. Some are just flaws. I tell you which is which so you can decide if this is the right one for you.

With care. Old books and fragile pieces are wrapped and boxed so they arrive the way they left me. Careful packing is one of the things buyers mention most in their reviews. Orders of $35 or more ship free.

Probably not. Everything here is one of a kind, and I rarely find the same item twice. Once it sells, it is gone. Vintage does not restock neatly.
