Oops the timing is actually July-August.


But the URL sent originally has June-July in it. Ugh. So some links may not work from the emails. Sorry. GR limits broadcast emails so i can't send out a correction for a day or so.

S.wagenaar Great choices all! Although I have all the Conan tales in the definitive Del Rey editions, I think I will pull from my bookshelf the Bantam edition paperback of The Hour of the Dragon, edited by Karl Edward Wagner. This was an incomplete attempt to publish Howard's Conan tales in their original form, and is the first serious recognition of Howard's work. It's a pretty cool edition!

David I've read all of them so I'll not vote.

Dan All good choices, a few of which I have read

S.wagenaar And most of Howard's work, Conan included, is available in ebook format for your e-reader dirt cheap!
