The first edition was nominated for a World Fantasy Award. This second edition, available for the first time in paperback, includes 300 new entries. 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.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53674556915985,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780964279513.jpg?v=1781534017","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/books-lexicon-urthus-by-michael-andre-driussi","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
