Getting toward the end of cataloging that large Robert E. Howard purchase<\/a>. <\/p>\n

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.”<\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

  • Howard, Robert E. The Devil in Iron<\/b>. 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.
