The Book of Sorcery

Little Soldier Games was founded in 1975 by Ed Konstant and David Perez. After an abortive attempt at a role-playing game based on J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings and an Arthurian role-playing game called Knights of the Round Table, Konstant and Perez decided to supply third-party supplements for the new role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons. After publishing The Book of Monsters and The Book of Demons in 1976, they released The Book of Sorcery in 1977. It was a digest-sized 44-page book, written by Dan Bress and Ed Konstant. The illustrations and cover art were done by Bob Charrette.^[2]: 130

In 1978, Phoenix Games bought Little Soldier Games, and signed over the rights to the Little Soldier back-catalogue to Gamescience after Gamescience paid the printing costs for Phoenix's first two products.^[2]: 294 Gamescience later included The Book of Sorcery in the 1990 compilation The Fantasy Gamer's Compendium.^[1]

Lew Pulsipher reviewed The Book of Sorcery for White Dwarf #5, and stated that "Book of Sorcery is much too short for [the price]."^[3]
