Yeah, My copy doesn't have it either unfortunately.
To re-derail this topic, Sunbaneglasses mentioned something I really love, for all that he pollutes it's perfection: Amaretto. Almond liquer. Aaah... beautiful.
Can you drink that nauseatingly sweet, pallet-glazing, synthetic, cyanide smelling ooze Avatar?
That is probably close to the most disgusting liquor I have ever tasted; closely rivaled by a locally produced gin from the Spanish island of Mallorca called "Tunnel".

Aah, yes, I do love it. It's not nearly as sweet as Frangelico, a hazelnut liquer. It's a sipping liquer, best with coffee on the side.
If we're still talking about alcohol, I strongly, strongly recommend Luxardo, a marichino cherry liquer made in Italy if you can find it. Fiery stuff, but great.
I've heard that some printings of DoR do not have GF. I don't think the one I originally bought, so many years ago, does. (Alas, I can't find it. )But the one that came out in the last year does. Or at least the USA printing does.

God wanted me to have Gilden Fire. It is in my copy of DoR.

I just bought the stand-alone book from Ebay. Does the version in DoR have the illustrations?

I'll have to look at it again...but IIRC, there is one illustration before it starts, and that is all.

Sure....but it would take me three years to type it all! So you could expect it just after Fatal Revenant.

I "see that he means" scan it.
I do not own a scanner. The twenty-dollar cost is prohibitive. )

Why not just ask him for permission to download it?
