Also, please add summary from back cover:

Long before mankind conquered the air, Blaedud the Birdman lived and loved in England...

Prince Blaedud was Lord of the Tribes of Britain, but the sky was his domain. Each night he dreamed a great dream -- of a splendid Bird-Woman who swooped down and spirited him up above the clouds. To achieve his dream he built suits of wax and feathers, magnificent gliders of wood and silk. Yet the love of his life, the white-blond Princess Elen, feared his perilous obsession with all her heart. Educated by Druids, granted wings by a beautiful naked sorceress, banished and rescued from a swineherd's mud-cursed realm, he risked his kingdom for the secret of flight, a secret that could dash him to pieces -- or change the destiny of man.

Please add summary from back cover:

WARRIOR, WIZARD, DWARF, THIEF, AND MASTER BUILDER--
all of them had chosen this world as their destiny, a realm where dragons were only too real and magic, not science, was the law of the land. Karl, Andrea, Ahira, Walter, and Lou knew there was no going back to twentieth-century America now. Instead they were stranded in a time and place where only healing spells and their own wits stood between them and the sharp, deadly edge of a slaver's blade.

But even if they could have returned home by some sorcerous trick, all of them would have refused the chance, bound by their pledge to bring this incredible realm the one treasure it lacked--freedom! But leagued against them in their fight were the entire forces of both the Wizards and the Slavers guilds. And, in this world where a wrong step or a twisted spell could transform friend into foe, how could Karl and his band survive long enough to fulfill their pledge?

Please replace current summary, which tells nothing about the book, to the one from the back cover below.

Dear Reader,

Considering that I'm married to Cedar Cove's private investigator, you might think I enjoy mysteries.
But I don't -- especially when they involve us!
Roy's been receiving anonymous postcards and messages asking if we "regret the past."
We don't know what they mean....

On a more positive note, we're both delighted that our daughter, Linnette, has moved to Cedar Cove to work at the new medical clinic. A while ago I attended the humane society's "Dog and Bachelor Auction," where I bought her a date with Cal Washburn, who works at Cliff Harding's horse farm. Unfortunately Linnette is less enthusiastic about this date than I am.

Speaking of Cliff, the romance between him and Grace Sherman is back on. But that's only one of the many interesting stories here in Cedar Cove. So why don't you drop by for a coffee at my husband's office on Main Street or our house on Harbor and I'll tell you everything that's new!

Corrie

As we don't include preview sections, I've previsionally updated to 426. But we do, however, include the "About the Author" section. So should that be 427?

Well, the preview (427-434) comes before the "About the Authors" section (435-436) so I dunno how that should be handled :(

And I really do wish someone would ask worldcat why they count preview chapters. lol

404 pages

I've looked this up on worldcat. Their page count is wrong as they state 403 for the page count.
I do believe 404 should be counted as this book is an anthology and page 404 lists the copyright of all the stories included in this book.

This now states that it was first published in 1960, because of this edition. I checked WorldCat, to see if it could shed any light on this - for your edition, it says "1962", but when looking at all different versions, it says "1959":

I'd say the worldcat count is a typo made by the person entering the data.
I can post a photo if you want but Rivka has said, more than once, that the person with book in hand trumps worldcat and amazon info every time.

Yep, that's fine! It's done. As we're updating a lot here, it's good to be 100% certain. :)
