It's totally not what I was expecting (mostly because I had no idea what it was about and my original 1980s-vintage paperback had a terrible generic mass-market fantasy cover), but I'm loving every page of it.
@JosephMy edition was published by Avon with a cover by Sanjulian or someone pretty darn similar. I thought it added a nice quality to the paperback

I've seen pictures of the Sanjulian cover
and it does look much nicer. I have a number of other Sanjulian covers in my collection, including

Thorgil Bloodaxe: The Vultures of Khurasan by Ralph E. Laitres
Swords Of Gobi: Quests Of The Dethroned. By Fred Blosser.
Sword & Sorcery action and fantasy in the pulp tradition of Prince Raynor, Elak of Atlantis. A tribute to Henry Kuttner.

@David, I have enjoyed Blosser’s essays about REH, but have not tried his fiction

It is my first time and I am so impressed. The book has 3 stories and I have read the first 2, you can believe they were written by Henry Kuttner.

Crimson Blades of the Corsair Kingdom (Celyn the Exile Book 2) by Lorenzo D. Lopez and Rogue Planet Press.
Well, one of the books I'm reading now is as sword-&-sorcery as you can get: Swords Against Death by Fritz Leiber.Also the cool (but not S&S) horror of Carnacki, The Ghost Finder by William Hope Hodgson.
not currently reading sword and sorcery, but at the moment I'm 21 books deep into the Horus Heresy, WH40K books.Now that's a long series of books. 55 in total.
Thorgil Bloodaxe, Shadow Of Death: by Ralph Laitres.

Honestly this is a hard read. Primarily because it is an excised section from the Ill Earth War. Meant to be read as supplemental material to the series, but like I said about the art. I'm a sucker for Stephen Fabian art.
