    The short stories are a must-read before the novels because they introduce many characters and plot points for the main saga. There is also a prequel story called Season of Storms which hasn't been officially translated into English yet, but there are fan translations if you can't wait. I haven't read it myself, but I hear that it is best read after the others. If you want to know more about The Witcher lore there is always The World of the Witcher^UK which will give you more backstory and details.

Yes, ordered them from here on the 7th if you live in the UK. If you live somewhere else they might be different dimensions.



Sword of Destiny



Lady of the Lake


Blood of Elves


The Last Wish


Tower of Swallow


Baptism of Fire


Time of Contempt

You're probably thinking of the UK versions, the only thing is that P&P might cost a bit.

Edit: All of the Witcher books, apart from lady of the lake and season of storms, are available with the better covers

I think what /u/sarric meant was... Andrzej Sapkowski The Witcher Series the games are based on these books. Thr first three have been translated into English, the first one is: Blood of Elves

Depends which Publisher you are talking about...Orbit is guilty of this, Gollancz did a great job with their covers putting only the characters which had more presence in those stories.

• Last Wish - Geralt
  
  
• Blood of Elves - Dandelion
  
  
• The Time of Contempt - Yennefer
  
  
• Baptism of Fire - Milva
