Ballantine Adult Fantasy

This group has become officially dormant. It happens. If you want to revive this group, or create a new group on the same topic, see this page.

Dedicated to the iconic and fascinating series of novels released between 1969 and 1974 thanks to publishers Ian and Betty Ballantine and editor Lin Carter. Without whom a great deal of excellent fantasy might have been forgotten.

There are quite a few collectors of these out there, so I thought a group might be in order.
