Thanks man will give that a try! There is actually a lot of stuff pre-1990 that is really good. Keep your eye on this thread.

Cool. I've read Philip Jose Farmer's contribution, the novella, "Spiders of the Purple Mage" and really enjoyed it. That was in Volume 2, but I read it in The Book of Philip Jose Farmer. I believe I have Volumes 1 and 3 of Thieves' World, but haven't read them yet.

I've seen this series get some serious love on the fantasy subreddit. I've been waiting for the ebook to go on sale.

Back on the Old Forum, I found out that many people don't know Stephen Brust's "Taltos" series should be considered S&S. In very basic terms, it could be called "Zelazny's Corwin of Amber meets a gentler version of Moorcock's Melnibone". Vlad Taltos is a (human), horny, competent thug/assassin in a non-human, magical empire. A review: www.tor.com/2008/08/28/vlad2/IMO, the first three novels (as published) are the best.

Swordsmen in the Sky edited by Donald A. Wollheim Picked this anthology up to get the Poul Anderson short story, but it's also sporting stories by Leigh Brackett, Andre Norton, and Edmond Hamilton. It seems like half of these are s&s disguised as sword and planet tales. Blackgate Review: www.blackgate.com/2010/07/04/swordsmen-in-the-sky/
