First publication?

[edit]

The article says he published 166 works from 1956, but the earliest published work cited is from 1967. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.147.58.61 (talk) 15:57, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

The comment on the Piers Anthony talk page used to justify this list was that the list should be "on a fan site, not a WP article." It was not that the list should be on a separate article, it was that the list should not be on WP at all.

I agree.
In keeping with WP principles, from what secondary sources was this list compiled? Are there two published works devoted to the subject of what novels he wrote and what series they are in? DGG 00:30, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Under a Velvet Cloak?

[edit]

I looked on Google, Amazon, and the author's own website, and was unable to find any reference to the book's release this year. I'm wondering where this information came from. 72.135.18.80 01:29, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is a book that he has been working on for years, and first mentioned in 2004 (when the initial proposal was finished and the first draft waas half finished).

And the webmaster of a fan website interviewed Piers in 2005, where he talked about the dificulty he has had in getting it published: http://www.spookybug.com/xanth/index.html

In the August 2007 update to his blog, he has stated that he is going to release Under A Velvet Cloak under his own publishing company in the near future. Mushrom 02:16, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

God of Tarot originally being one book

[edit]

I have the Tarot 3-in-1 book. The author mentions in foreword that it had been one large story that was split at the publisher's request at the time it was first published. I can't find anything else off hand. Will try later.Bylebog (talk) 10:06, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The edition I read says the publisher split the book without the author's permission, without notifying him & against his explicitly stated wishes . Peter jackson (talk) 16:59, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

But What of Earth? ...?

[edit]

Under the listing for "But What of Earth?", this article says to see the main Piers Anthony article...but that doesn't mention But What of Earth?. So what are we supposed to be looking at? --108.41.60.181 (talk) 23:39, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I realize this post is old but I've just run into the same frustration. After digging I found something. Evidently the book revision was written and published without Anthony's permission. This info WAS in the author article but the Talk page explains it was removed because it took up too much space, or something. I think the author page is quite thin, personally.
