Okay, I have no illusion that this book will be read by the members of this board anytime soon. However, I'm about half-way through with it and I have to say that I'm quite happy with my purchase.
I suspect some others here would enjoy reading it as well.
Now, I should warn you folks that the version of the book is very important. After Robert E. Howard's death in 1930, I think, some of his stories were altered. There were also additions to the Conan saga made by other authers such as L. Sprague de Camp. Take my word, these apocrypha, as Conan purists would call it, are only shadows of the originals.
The version that I have only has stories by Howard. They have also been restored to the way Howard originally wrote them. Apparently, people like DeCamp edited Howard's parts of existing stories.
Anyway, my version is the one published by DelRey. I think those in Europe can buy the one published by Wandering Star books.
I'll get to the actual contents of the book when I can collect my thoughts about it. Until then, try to read the book if you're interested. Buy it in paprerback or borrow it from your local library.

I'll just put it on the literature list. Right now I have an obsession with Spanish literature and fantasy novels.
