There were no less than four major Howard gatherings this year: Howard Days, the Windy City Pulp Show, Pulp Con, and Gen Con, and <em>The Cimmerian<\/em> covered them all. New discoveries continued to startle us, including the first images of Howard&#8217;s typewriter, pictures of the Howard House before it had been renovated, a study of yet another place where Howard once had his photograph taken, and of course the unearthing of a typescript of &#8220;Cimmeria&#8221; signed by Howard himself.
