The Ballantine Adult Fantasies were published in the late 60's to early
70's and edited by Lin Carter.  The "real" members of the series were
all published with a unicorn's head logo on the cover.  There were 71
books so published.  There are also another 10 books "related" to the
Ballantine Adult Fantasy series.  They were all published in the same
time frame, edited by Lin Carter (I'm fairly sure) with the same style
of cover, but without the Unicorn Head logo.  Two actually say
"Ballantine Adult Fantasy" in tiny letters next to the spine and
another two says "Ballantine Fantasy".  I've been trying to collect
them, and now have all but 5 of the real BAF's after a year of
shopping.  I haven't read very many of them, but they are a good place
to find early fantasy.  Does anyone have any favorites?
