The index and addenda to The Collected Letters of Robert E. Howard arrived today. It probably won’t be of much interest to the casual reader, but it’s a highly useful tool to the serious (and not so serious) scholar. In addition to the much needed index, the book also contains 17 letters and drafts that were not known at the time the Collected Letters was published.
Pricing and ordering information are here. Of course, members of the Robert E. Howard Foundation get a discount.
Kudos to Bobby Derie for putting the index together. It was a lot of work.
Now you’re just showing off.
Guilty as charged. 🙂 Although as a member of the REH Foundation, I do like to help promote their books.
I don’t blame you. I think I would love to become a member. I will see how things look later this year and whether my priority list would justify the expense.
I understand about the expense. If I didn’t live where I could attend Howard Days on the cheap most years, I’m not sure I would be a member. Half the fun is the social interaction that goes on. Of course, there are cool things in the quarterly newsletter that make up the other half. I hope it will work out that you can join. I think you would fit in well with the membership.
That about sums it up. I love their site though. It fills you with a sense of nostalgia and longing for days long gone.
That it does.
