title: The Great Book of Amber: The Complete Amber Chronicles, 1-10 (Chronicles of Amber)
author:  Roger Zelazny 
description: Roger Zelazny's books have three things in common: a flawed hero who sometimes fails, endlessly surprising plot twists, and a blend of lyricism, literary allusions, and sly puns that makes the pages fly. <i>The Great Book of Amber</i>, collecting all 10 Amber novels, is vintage Zelazny. Despite some irritating typographical errors, it's invaluable for anyone who wants to read or reread the tales of Corwin and his son, Merlin.
