SOLVED. Encyclopedia/ Writer's Guide to Fantasy Worlds. [s]

[Faith]

Hey. I would love some help in finding an encyclopedia or writer's guide to fantasy worlds in fiction that I used to own. It included information on a lot of different fantasy worlds. The cover of the edition I had was beige. I had it around ten years ago.

It's not:
-- Fantasy Encyclopedia - Judy Allen
-- The Tough Guide to Fantasyland - Diane Wynne Jones
-- Wonderbook - Jeff Vandermeer

Thanks in advance.

The Wand in the Word: Conversations with Writers of Fantasy?

No. But that does sound like an interesting book to look into. Thanks for checking.

Not that either. But it does look like a good book to check into. Thanks for checking.

The Encyclopedia of Fantasy?

New Worlds, Year One: A Writer's Guide to the Art of Worldbuilding by Marie Brennan? Might be too recent.

Not The Enyclopedia of Fantasy (or The Ultimate Encyclopedia of Fantasy as suggested by the second responder, Simi). But both books sound good. So, I will be looking into them.

Thanks for checking.

Not New Worlds... But also sounds interesting.

Thanks for checking.

Hey. Thanks so much for all of your help.

By using your suggestions as searching points, I was able to find the book I was looking for in the readers also like section of a retail website. I tried this before with keywords and it didn't work. But, with your suggested titles, it did. Again, thanks for all of your help. Below is the title of the book:

The Dictionary of Imaginary Places by Alberto Manguel and Gianni Guadalupi

The Dictionary of Imaginary Places: The Newly Updated and Expanded Classic for the trackable link. Glad we were able to help you in figuring out your book. It looks like something I'd enjoy too.
