Impressions of books from new printers

[Lycanthus]

Well, here's hoping that all this hassle will cause the editor(s) to be a little more vigilant...

...if I believed in some kind of supernatural powers, I would think the new Lone Wolf reprint is somewhat doomed.

Nah, they just dragged a Giak in off the street to do the proofreading.

However, the colors of the maps are less vibrant too, which makes the maps in book 3 and 4 a little difficult to read, but, again, it does add to the atmosphere, making the impression it is an old parchment of ancient times.

The map is now my biggest concern - it is not easy to read even under good lighting and, as such, is far inferior to the maps in the original paperbacks (which were bright, clear and simple in comparison).

The next book, Shadow on the Sand, is the first to include a map-based puzzle (section 331) so this needs to be sorted out by then. And if the details (oases, cities, islands) don't match up, preventing successful completion, then I'll happily cough up to have the Deathlord pay Mongoose a visit...
