5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding collection, 7 Feb 2006
By Ian C. Smith "ghost of '82" (West Midlands, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
You just can't get a better Robert E Howard collection of CONAN tales than this series of paperback editions of the Wandering Star books. This is the third and final collection, the stories published in the order that Howard wrote them. This volume includes Red Nails, perhaps the finest CONAN story that Howard wrote.

Based on the (strangely as-yet unpublished) Wandering Star luxury hardback, this is a beautifully illustrated book with numerous essays and drafts that greatly increase your enjoyment of the stories themselves, which are the original Howard text, NOT the edited/amended stories published since the 'sixties.

Outstanding, a must-have book for any fan of Howard.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best edition ever, 25 Oct 2008
Contrary to another review which claims that this edition has been superseded by the Complete Chronicles edition I much prefer this one (meaning: the 3 volumes). The paper is better quality, the preface gives a clever insight about the way Howard related to his hero, the ordering makes sense (and you can appreciate how Howard's style evolved over the years), the illustrations are beautifully rendered. Personally I also prefer to read from a manageable sized book (especially in bed!) rather than from a volume as heavy as the Chronicles. In term of content this edition contains the same stories (i.e. everything written by Howard on Conan) as the Complete Chronicles. There are some additional material there too, like letters and commentaries to and by Howard, which I don't think you'll find in the Compete Chronicles edition. The only reason you might want the Complete Chronicles is that they are slightly cheaper.
Naturally the stories themselves deserve 5 stars, but these 5 stars I give here are for the edition as much as for the work itself.
