This is the pair of award winning fantasy novels offered together, being Dan Simmon's Hyperion (1989) and Fall of Hyperion (1990). Errata slip laid in for the sequel. Both are first printings and were relatively small hardcover printings. The photographs are of the actual books showing the the copyright pages, and the jacket flaps with the price showing as $18.95 and $19.95. The books are unread and have been in a collection since purchased some 30 years ago. No markings to the jacket or books. Just natural aging to the top edge and fore edges (very slight) of the book blocks. More photos available on request.

Hyperion is the first book in the Hyperion Cantos, a tetra-logy of science fiction novels by Dan Simmons.
