Thanks to W.H. Pugmire for alerting me to the fact that there was a second enlarged edition of Kingsport, City in the Mists (1991, 2003)…

I just realised that there is an updated edition of Chaosium’s Kingsport, City in the Mists, that I don’t have! How I ache for it! Just beginning work on my new Kingsport story, hopefully soon to be a novelette.

It’s a gaming book, but an excellent one that’s much more of a guide/encyclopaedia for Kingsport — packed with details and maps about Kingsport, and as such it’s incredibly useful for writers. I used it when making my “The Monoliths under the Sea”. The 1991 and 2003 editions now sell for silly used prices on Amazon and eBay. I looked on the Chaosium website, but it’s unavailable there. It just seems incredible that publishers can let a desireable book like this go out-of-print, in the age of print-on-demand and eReaders, when they (and the authors) could be getting income from it.
