Robert E. Howard 16 vintage paperbacks Solomon Kane Conan some by Wagner, Offutt

Description: This lot consists of 16 Robert E. Howard books—ten by REH himself, and five featuring his characters but authored by Andrew J. Offutt, Karl Edward Wagner, Roland Green, and Robert Jordan. This lot of paperbacks is a great opportunity for a wide-ranging REH binge-read. On these pages you'll encounter not only Conan but also Bran Mak Morn, Cormac Mac Art, Vulmea the Irish pirate, Almuric, El Borak, Solomon Kane, Dark Agnes, and Dennis Dorgan. This is a reading set, and the condition of each book varies. I've rated each one below as VG (Very Good), G (Good), A (Acceptable) or RBR (Rough but Readable). They all show varying signs of reading, wear, storage, handling, or age. Please see the photos and read the below written descriptions for a full sense of the condition of each book. At less than $10 a book, this is an economical way to read some REH classics—and some lesser-known works—in some of the many paperback formats and editions that people have enjoyed from the 1960s through the early 2000s.
