The best book I have ever bought, 01 Jul 2001
Since its first release Magic: The Gathering card game has had dozens of expansion editions. They have been created and discontinued. This first Encyclopedia (made in 1996) shows every card from the first 8 editions - from Arabian Nights to Alliances - as well as the whole 4th Edition (the Basic set at the time). Most interestingly of all the cards that were Discontinued before the 4th Edition are also displayed. Many of these, such as the Black Lotus are now worth hundreds of pounds. All of the cards pictured in the book have been out of print for at least half a decade, so this is most likely the only place where you will be able to see them. The guide is well made, all in colour, and excellently laid out by the people who created the game. The card images have been shrunk by about a quarter so that 12 of them can be fitted onto a side, however, the artwork and text are still clear. As well as the images, there is a foreward by the game's creator, an introduction to each set, deckbuilder's indexes, images of promotional cards, misprinted cards and oddities, a history of the game, and a visual guide to Magic cards (teaching how to identify ones from different sets, e.g. cards in the Alpha set have more rounded edges). I have owned this book for three years and I still refer to it regularly. If you know anything about the other encyclopedias (as I don't) or have any Magic stuff to say - questions or comments, email me.

I collect the cards and I don't know how I would have known if they were rare or common cards if I hadn't found this book. It's the best!

Pretty Good!, 01 Mar 1998
It is an excellent book as far as I'm concerned, only missing one card that I am aware of, which is the Clockwork Avian.
