In this late 20th century world, people still travel through pea fog by horse and carriage, but magic has made levitation and enchantment spells the norm, especially at a sorcerer’s convention. The International Sorcerer’s Convention is in full swing. Until London’s Chief Forensics Sorcerer, Sir James Zwinge, is found dead inside a locked room, that is. Master Sean O Lochlainn had been at odds with Sir James over competing breakthroughs in incision-free surgery, making him the prime suspect. It’s up to Lord Darcy to solve Sir James’ murder and exonerate his own forensic sorcerer and trusted assistant. But the mystery deepens when the murder of a Naval spy is connected to that of Sir James’ death. Conflict with Poland, a dominating world power, changes the game and suddenly there is a lot more at stake than the freedom of Lord Darcy’s old friend. Too Many Magicians was nominated for the Hugo Award in 1967, and the complete Lord Darcy series later won the Sideways Award for Alternate History. Note on Gregg Press printings: Many of the Gregg Press SF books were printed in editions of only 200 to 300 copies. Quite a few of these were sold to libraries, so finding non-exlibrary copies of all the books can be challenging. Some of the books that sold well were reprinted. It is possible to tell on many of those that were reprinted if a book is a first printing or not but not in all cases. Most first printings stated this on the copyright page but according to Hartwell, a few first printings had no statement of first printing and a few reprint runs didn't get the first printing statements removed. Condition: Binding - near fine, top and bottom of spine slightly bumped, slight edgewear and rubbing, page edges very very slightly soiled. Dust jacket - none, as issued.
