I recently bought this item:




** expired eBay auction **




i though it was a midkemia product (actually i have always seen the "Cities" 2nd edition by Midkemia) but, as a matter of fact, once i received it, i didnt find any mention of the publisher...



is there anybody who has knowledge of the item?



tnx and ciao

From the site above:
"Midkemia Press was born (formally still known as Abrams & Everson) and produced their first (and arguably their best) product , the book CITIES, in 1979."

My 1981 Black Tower lists Cites as a Midkemia Press product, & has an identical illustration/production appearance.

RPG.net has the following in their description of the book, which might explain why you can't find info on the publisher in it:

This is the first edition of Cities. Midkemia Press didn't actually exist at the time, but it was founded by the time these individuals published the second edition of their book, two years later.

(Though the above link contradicts this.)

Axel, i have that one...defo a midkemia book.

There is some ambiguous wording in this statement: "Midkemia Press was born (formally still known as Abrams & Everson)..."

Either the formal name of the publishing company was 'Abrams & Everson' back in 1979, or it still is today. While oft associated with amateur self-publishers, this is entirely common even with major houses like 'Alfred P. Knopf' or 'Harcourt-Brace-Jovanovich.'
