4.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful book, with flaws, 20 Nov 2008
By John Middleton (Brisbane, QLD, AUST) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is exactly what it appears to be: a truly beautiful book containing Conan tales together with evocative artwork, in both colour and ink. It is weighty and impressive and constantly draws me back to it. At the price, it is a steal.

It is not, and does not purport to be, a complete collection of all Conan tales, or even of those commonly judged to be REH's finest work. I can only hope an additional volume or two follows to complete the collection in this form.

"And their memory was a bitter tree" has only two flaws: the first, which is obvious as soon one opens the book, is the introduction. That jars with the book itself in places: why buy a book when you are told the author of these tales "simply wasn't a great writer". Despite that, there is nonetheless some interesting information in the introduction.

The second flaw is the reproduction of some pulp-era Margaret Brundage Conan covers only as thumbnail-sized prints in the introduction itself. These pictures would have been better served (full-sized) added to the Frazetta and Brom artwork scattered throughout the book.

As stated above, the praise I can give this book is best reflected in the fact that if Underwood/Black Bart produce further volumes in the same format to add more tales to the collection (hopefully with some full-size Brundage as well as Frazetta and a modern addition by Brom) then I will certainly buy them.
