Well, it looks like a good start anyway. I know there are downloads with practically everything he wrote.

You're right, at that, Bill, and thanks! I saw that in poking around B&N this morning, so it's good to have a friend reader bespeak that edition. When I get my Nook home to Wi-Fi (or, maybe I'll hit a Wi-Fi hot-spot for lunch) I'll find that puppy sitting in My Library.

I just got the dee-vice day afore yesterday, so I've not thought of everyone.

And for that reason, am grateful for your kind reminders!

I believe it is missing a good chunk of the Conan canon....which used to be available in a nice omnibus, but seems to have vanished.  Probably something to do with the movie?  Either way, still worth the 2....bugs me that I did not snag the Conans....grrrrrr.

This is one of those books that literally make you happy when reading it.  :)

I do not know because I do not know your 13-year-old.  ;D

I certainly dig it and I don't usually like novelizations. Does that count?
