Very nice! I wish I had the hard back Means to Freedom, had to get the soft covers.

Yeah, it's a fascinating read. I picked up the hardback editions and heard about the paperback editions a few months later.
I'd like to pick up all the REH Foundation books but I'll have to find them the old fashioned way - I like to physically hunt them down rather than order a book online. So it'll probably take a little while before I find a dealer with copies locally in the UK. I still have not read the boxing yarns! I guess I'll just have to be a little patient.

I still lack a few of the hard backs, including the collected letters. I just missed the boat on some of them.

Here's an updated photo of my REH/Conan and Frazetta related books: Cool stuff Hun. I notice your shelf is bowing under the weight of those mighty tomes.

Not as impressive as most, here are my current Howards.

I'm here as a Conan fan rather than just a Howard fan. I paid $100 for this lot of paperbacks, and most are unread. Great deal if you ask me! I plan to fill in the gaps, with the goal of collecting one of every paperback.
I also own every black and white Conan comic - Savage Sword, Conan Saga, Savage Tales (all but #1)... Plus Kull and the Barbarians, some Marvel Graphic Novels, and a few other things.
Also not pictured are various art books featuring Conan (Frazetta, Schultz, Jusko, and the like), plus the two DK and Dark Horse books about Conan.
I've been debating whether or not to collect the live action and animated TV series, plus all of the movies. It will probably happen eventually...

I also began a collection of the UK Orbit editions, but only have a handful of these. My REH is pretty much a hodge podge (actually, most of my collection is) of various publishers, editions and eras. I have a couple of Donald M Grant REHs (Hawks of Outremer, One Who Walked Alone), maybe a Caroll & Graf or two. I need to get them out and do some photos like you guys have. What I'd like to have is a couple of the Gnomes, some REH Foundations, etc. I've been working on obtaining more hardbacks, but have focused this effort mostly in the ERB arena, and A. Merritt. I just picked up an absolutely astoundingly beautiful copy of the Borden Memorial Edition of The Ship of Ishtar for the staggering sum of $10. I've been waiting for years to drop the hammer on that one, and that price was impossible to pass on; it was like a throat begging to be cut, as Princess Lilly said in Legend.

Nice collection. The Tor Conan books have proved difficult for me to find in the second hand book shops in London. $100 for all those paperbacks is very reasonable.

I got maneuvered into picking this up today. Not sure about the edition. I'm thinking I'll loan it out to those who haven't read OG Conan

Looks nice and says complete and unabridged, so what's not to like? I picked up a Black Stranger and other Stories off Instagram this weekend. Just another paperback for the shelves. It's possible I have a problem...

Can the Del Rey editions still be found at book stores in the USA? I've not seen the Del Rey edition for years in London.

I think I spotted a Del Rey Solomon Kane at a Barnes and Noble earlier this year. The Del Reys are pretty scarce in my area. The pictured volume was put in my pull folder at my local comic shop.
