Are the Marchers of Valhalla drafts out there in any other form apart from the newsletter special I haven't been able to track down?

According to howardworks.com/CompleteMarchersofValhallaDrafts-SpecialEdition-REHFoundation.html 

"Another edition will be made available to the general public in 2016." 

Haven't heard anything since , perhaps they'll include in the Swords of the North Ultimate Edition when they get round to reprinting that.

I hope so, this and the Solomon Kane edition I mentioned in the other thread would be my two current big wants, but this is the more likely of the two.  Or if they could add it to a possible Last of the Trunk or Pictures in the Fire Ultimate Edition

It's been mentioned to me that Swords is possibly the next they'll reprint after the last two Poetry books so fingers-crossed. I'd heard that Last of the Trunk wasn't going to be reprinted , hopefully so as I picked up a copy at Howard Days when we were last over and it'll be worth a few bob for my wife when I've gone LOL!

Have they updated any of the other reprinted books so far? I got the impression they were doing straight up reissues. We’ll take whatever we can get!

Steve Harrison book appears to be the same , the first volume of the Letters has had some added that they've found since and they've moved some around that weren't in the right place chronologically. Don't know about the Poetry as I haven't picked that up.

OK thanks Terry.  Time to certainly drop a few hints about adding some things if possible.

Looks like we'll be getting Swords of the North soon:



Swords of the North
by Robert E. Howard (Author), Paul Herman (Editor), Rusty Burke (Introduction)

Description:
ROBERT E. HOWARD, father of the "Sword and Sorcery" genre, built an entire world of fantasy and adventure. He peopled it with legendary heroes - including Conan the Cimmerian and Kull, the king of Valusia. While these are Howard's most famous creations, there are many others. SWORDS OF THE NORTH collects some of Howard's finest tales of Sword and Sorcery, including "Kings of the Night," "The Dark Man," "The Valley of the Worm," and more. Also collected in this volume are the complete tales and fragments of two of Howard's lesser-known characters: James Allison, who remembers his past lives as mythical warriors; and Cormac Mac Art, the leader of a band of Vikings during the reign of King Arthur.
