Love the book, but I have one small gripe: where is Surtr? All of the pieces are on the board for an epic Ragnarök except him and his flaming sword.

So glad you enjoy Monstrous Kennings! When I was digging into the research, it really felt like the jotnar needed their own volume to do them justice beyond the classical glossing of them all as simply “giants.” I’m hoping to have Surtr, Hel and some of the other big names headline an upcoming text devoted exclusively to jotnar and their primal elemental nature.

The file you're purchasing is a PDF - as long as you're printing for your own use and not reselling it, that's fine under the DMsguild license!

Format

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
