Welcome to the Watch, garythfla! :D

I also want to urge Covenant fans to get the Atlas. I've had mine for years. It's a wonderful companion book to the Chronicles.

is it possible to a get a new (not used) version?
But if you're all about the destination, then take a fucking flight.
We're going nowhere slowly, but we're seeing all the sights.
And we're definitely going to hell, but we'll have all the best stories to tell.

Welcome to the Watch!

The Atlas has been out of print for several years now. I have a copy and I agree with MM, it is a must-have for any serious TC fan. I believe that I found my copy on ebay.

Well, I bought my copy of the Atlas new when it first came out, but I think it's been out of print for a long time now, since it sold very poorly (according to SRD in his Gradual Interview). I wonder how many copies of the Atlas still exist?

(Heh, dlbpharmd posted while I was typing this...)

Technically it is not a donaldson book. He just provided his input to the process...

I bought all my COTC books used (except Runes)
Libraries are also great--I have the Gap series on hold right now...If you can`t find Gilden Fire, just pick up Daughter of Regals (For GF and 7 other great stories)--as far as the Atlas, apparantly you can get it through ebay--I think there`s a thread or two about it here.
