Terry has finished writing the sequel to Bearers of the Black Staff, titled The Measure of the Magic. It is the continuation of the Genesis of Shannara trilogy and is set 500 years after the events in The Gypsy Morph. Events earers of the Black Staff, Book One of the Legends of Shannara duology, is now published and in fine bookstores everywhere.One can tell it is one of these rare copies if they open the book and look at the publishing information page where the number line 2 4 6 8 9 7 5 3 (old-style Ballantine first edition number line) and a stated First Edition exist at the bottom of the page.

They printed 3500 first edition/first printing hardcover copies. One of the organizations decided it wanted to honor Terry and The Sword of Shannara, but to do so the book had to be in a hardcover format. It wasn’t released as a hardcover at first, but as it climbed and stayed on the New York Times bestselling paperback list, it caught the attention of many book organizations and book clubs.

Originally, The Sword of Shannara was published in 1977 in a large, softcover, trade paperack edition. The rarity of these three volumes is immense and it is due to their initial printing numbers. Collecting The Sword of Shannara, The Elfstones of Shannara and The Wishsong of Shannara are the three hardest hardcovers to find in the history of the fantasy genre.Everything listed on this page is tentative but it is also what Terry has in mind at this very moment: Letters From Terry JHoliday 2009 AugMaHoliday 2007 JHoliday 2006 Holiday 2005 The Gypsy Morph – paperback (in stores) A Landover omnibus – books 1-3 (in stores) A Landover omnibus – books 4-5 (in stores) A Princess of Landover (in stores) The World of Shannara – Revised & Updated (in stores)… The website receives many questions about what he is publishing next, so this part of the website is devoted to the future-not only concerning the next new book but what Terry’s planning on doing over the next several years. He finishes a new book at the same time as the last one is being released, so he is always one book ahead of what the readers have in their hands. It is this work ethic that helps him publish a book every year. He begins writing at six o’clock every morning, and during those moments he is not writing, he has one foot in the story.
