Richard’s comments from the Sword & Sorcery: "An earthier sort of fantasy" group.

The Booklegger in Huntsville, AL has a large sci-fi/fantasy section with a great trade program. The Booklegger is strictly a used book store.

Priceville Discount Books in Priceville, AL also has a large sci-fi/fantasy section. They do not take trades but there are so many books that you are always finding something new. They are a used bookstore with occasional new books.

Thank you for the share Mary!

I've only read the first three but I look forward to reading the rest.

My favorite sword & planet so far is Banners of the Sa'Yen. The Dray Prescot books are great too but there are a lot of nouns to keep track of. Would the Richard Blade series be considered Sword & Planet? Blade explores different dimensions.

They are pretty frickin amazing. I enjoyed them tremendously.

Welcome aboard, Severius!

Thank you. I was more than a little stoked!

Did some thrift shop sifting and this is what I purchased for $6.

I really enjoyed the Iron Lords by Andrew Offutt. Although, the story doesn't have a definitive ending. Lady Of The Snowmist left me wanting more. I say if you've liked Offutt in the past go for it.

From the cover art Suaine and the Crow-God looks like a Viking type story. I cannot find a synopsis anywhere. And it looks like it might fit right in with the Obscure book read this month.

I've seen a lot of chatter about Harold Lamb. Wildside press has a mega pack collecting 18 of his stories for $.99. (I wanted to share this but I didn't really know where else to put it) *shrugs*

I make three for "off the planet"!!

I am currently reading Weird Tales 4.

I am currently reading Memnon by Scott Oden. So far so good; plus, I was surprised to discover that he lives in N. Alabama too.

There was an additional book similar to The Blade of Conan called The Spell of Conan.

Good haul, Jack!

This may be common knowledge, but if you are having trouble finding certain titles www.bookfinder.com is an excellent tool.

I read the Time Master series years ago. The details are foggy, but I remember liking it.

600? Wow.

Shadow of His Wings was great. I found it used in my local bookstore and the Darrell K Sweet cover sold me. The next book The Mace of Souls is also good. Although, I remember it being slow to start.

This is the only one I'm aware of. The description reads like it's a new continuing series, but I do t think it ever got off the ground.
