Book Reviews of The Bloody Crown of Conan (Conan of Cimmeria, Book 2)

Book Review: Best edition ever
Summary: 5 Stars

Contrary to another review which claims that this edition has been superseded by the Complete Chronicles edition I much prefer this one (meaning: the 3 volumes). The paper is better quality, the preface gives a clever insight about the way Howard related to his hero, the ordering makes sense (and you can appreciate how Howard's style evolved over the years), the illustrations are beautifully rendered. Personally I also prefer to read from a manageable sized book (especially in bed!) rather than from a volume as heavy as the Chronicles. In term of content this edition contains the same stories (i.e. everything written by Howard on Conan) as the Complete Chronicles. There are some additional material there too, like letters and commentaries to and by Howard, which I don't think you'll find in the Compete Chronicles edition. The only reason you might want the Complete Chronicles is that they are slightly cheaper.
Naturally the stories themselves deserve 5 stars, but these 5 stars I give here are for the edition as much as for the work itself.
