The important thing about Conan is to read it in a book with a Frank Frazetta cover. http://imgur.com/a/lR5nq

Ornamented Death posted:The old Ace paperbacks that include de Camp and Carter's...additions...have Frazetta covers, so while well-meaning, your post is somewhat inaccurate. There's something about the Frazetta covers that makes up for it though. You're thirteen years old in a used bookstore, you see that cover, you think "oh poo poo, that looks like the poo poo," then you crack it open and inside there's dialogue like "Free my hands and I'll varnish this floor with your brains!"

MrMojok posted:Never read any other versions. Period. THere was a one-volume edition of the original stories as originally published available for a while, but I don't see it online any more. The Del Rey is great, only drawback is it's multiple volumes. (The difference between the del Rey and the single volume was originally published va originally written: del Rey is based on Howard's original drafts.
