My Bad 

[terryallenuk]

LOL no problem

[cromfelge]

Is it common for hardcover books of 176 pages to cost 50$? Feels weird to me but I don't know US book prices.

[johnnypt]

Unfortunately yes, especially for a smaller publisher and print run.

Conan the Barbarian: The Official Story of the Film
By John Walsh

Description

In 1982, Robert E. Howard’s iconic literary anti-hero, Conan, slashed his way from page to screen after a perilous decades-long journey. With its potent mix of epic vistas and bloody battles, Conan the Barbarian thrilled moviegoers around the world and launched the career of Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Forty years after its release, this cult-classic film is celebrated in Conan the Barbarian – The Official Story of the Film, a lush hardback volume that tells the full story of how the film was made. Brand new interviews with cast and crew, as well behind-the-scenes photography from the set and concept art created for the production, give fascinating insights into the development of one of the best-loved fantasy films of the 1980s.

Conan the Barbarian: The Official Motion Picture Adaptation

Author L. Sprague De Camp, Lin Carter

Two of the most famous contributors to the Conan legend write the official novel of CONAN THE BARBARIAN, the seminal fantasy film by John Milius.

The official adaptation of CONAN THE BARBARIAN, the seminal film written by John Milius and Oliver Stone, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and James Earl Jones. In the novel by L. Sprague de Camp and Lin Carter, the Cimmerian youth Conan witnesses the death of his parents at the hands of Thulsa Doom, a priest of Set. Enslaved, he is trained as a gladiator. Gaining his freedom he allies with Subotai, a Hyrkanian archer, and a skilled swordswoman thief named Valeria. Together they raid the Tower of the Serpent, then Conan breaks away to seek the cult of Doom—and revenge on the sorcerer who leads it.

Be interested on folks thoughts on this , not all that bothered unless it's really outstanding as Paul Sammon's couple of articles in Cinefantasque cover the making of it so well.
