Other (more accomplished) bloggers spend their Saturdays showcasing all the great goodies they have received from publishers. Since I infrequently get those (and definitely do not receive enough to fill a whole blog post) I’ve decided to spend my Saturdays showcasing some of the cool books I’ve picked up recently from used book stores, thrift shops, and yard sales. (Oh, yeah, I love going to yard sales on Saturday mornings. Fun stuff.)
This week I’ve got a treat in store for my brothers and sisters who love sword and sorcery, because I hit a mother lode on a recent trip to my local used bookstore, snagging enough reading material to keep me busy for weeks.
And if that wasn’t enough sword and sorcery, I was able to start obtaining physical copies of my favorite modern sword and sorcery series. Wasn’t lucky enough to find all four books though, which was horribly disappointing.
Have to say this was a great haul for the week, but I’ll be out this a.m. looking for some more at all the yard sales and thrift stores in my area, so wish me luck!
Really fun post and great photos of the Conan books. I’ve never read Moore but I cant ever remember when you’ve steered me wrong. Time to check it out. Cheers, Brian

That is a LOT of Conan. You sure you’re not going to burn out? I’ve heard the pastiches really run the gamut in terms of quality 🙂

I’m sure I’ll get tired of it after a few, but I like to have some simple, fun books lying around when I tire of the more modern, more woke fantasy we get these days.

I was about to say the same. So. much. Conan 😀 But hey, if you love something, it’s awesome if there’s so much of it 🙂
Don’t read too much at once though, you might get weird dreams and wake up in the process of chopping someone’s head off 😛
