Getting toward the end of cataloging that large Robert E. Howard purchase.
The Grant Deluxe Conan series was something I never really planned to collect, as I always found the covers drab, and it overlapped significantly with the Conan volumes (namely the Gnome Press firsts) I already had. But these were part of the lot deal, and, as I’ve noted before, there are few price points quite as attractive as “you’ve already paid for it.”
I don’t have all of these (yet), and there’s no sign on the books themselves of which volume they are in the series, so I’m cataloging and shelving these by title.
Howard, Robert E. The Devil in Iron. Donald M. Grant, 1976. First edition hardback, a Near Fine+ copy with slight bump at heel and long, faint non-breaking crease to front free endpaper, in a Near Fine dust jacket with bump at heel, small section of slight discoloration to bottom rear edge, long, faint non-breaking crease to front flap and trace of wear at points. Chalker/Owings, page 218. Currey, page 249. Fifth volume in the Deluxe Conan series.
Howard, Robert E. The People of the Black Circle. Donald M. Grant, 1974. First edition hardback, a Fine copy in a Near Fine dust jacket with slight discoloration to the front panel and slight bumping at head. Chalker/Owings, page 217. Currey, page 250. First volume of the Deluxe Conan series.
