| For those of you looking for used paperbacks and hardbacks of Conan
and other Robert E. Howard material, I have prepared a list of bookstores
that that stock a lot of Conan and REH books! I'm not trying to "plug"
these bookstores, but after ransacking over 50 different used bookstores
these are the only ones that had a large selection of Conan! Oddly, used
Conan books seem to be very rare these days. In any case, I hope this
information will help you find REH material, and at least take a little
frustration out of the search for these jewels... Contents: Used Bookstores on the Internet...

Howard paperbacks, hardcovers, pamphlets, and even vintage copies of the 1930's pulp fiction magazines! They specialize in Science Fiction and Fantasy collectables. The stores are a little pricey, but you can find the odd bargain from time to time. The paperbacks are usually priced between $5 and $10 each. The hardbacks typically sell for between $25 and $50, but the very rare REH books can run up to $500 or more per copy! Here is the information for the bookstores: Robert A.
