Does anyone know where I can find cheap R E Howard Conan stories? I've heard them mentioned on the boards before and if I remember correctly they are mentioned in the RoS book. A search on Amazon came up with things like original hardcovers for $50, are there no collections or reprints? PM me if you can shed some light onto this.

I forgot to mention: the two books contain all the Conan stories by Robert E. Howard wrote. I'm pretty sure that is the case.

The cheapest way would be a library or used bookstore. Conan should be easy to find at both. You'll probably end up with the Ace paperback versions though, which were mangled by De Camp. From all accounts, the versions with all of the De Camp/Carter stuff stripped out are much better but you might have to buy those new.
