When the first edition was published, Science Fiction Age said: \"Lexicon Urthus makes a perfect gift for any fan of  Wolfe's] work, and from the way his words sell, it appears that there are many deserving readers out there waiting.\" Gary K. Wolfe, in Locus, said: \"A convenient and well researched glossary of names and terms. . . . It provides enough of a gloss on the novels that it almost evokes Wolfe's distant future all by itself. . . . It can provide both a useful reference and a good deal of fun.\" Donald Keller said, in the New York Review of Science Fiction: \"A fruitful product of obsession, this is a thorough . . . dictionary of the Urth Cycle. . . . Andre-Driussi's research has been exhaustive, and he has discovered many fascinating things . . .  it is] head-spinning to confront a myriad of small and large details, some merely interesting, others jawdropping.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 440\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.13 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 01, 2008\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42737742053439,"sku":"9780964279506","price":58.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/373c3703abcdb88e4abb7d0fe5dd5a98.webp?v=1765150924","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/lexicon-urthus-second-edition-hardcover","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
