I can&#8217;t envision a trip to Cross Plains without seeing REH&#8217;s room, or The Room as I&#8217;ve dubbed it.

Although there may be a few out there somewhere, as far as I know the above volume is the only book inscribed by Robert E.

No more. It would seem that the surge in popularity and collectability of &#8220;all things Robert E. Howard&#8221; has certainly affected the pulp magazine market. I would suspect that this would continue to hold true at least for the near term because of simple supply and demand for the finite number of these fragile books.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8212; James Barron, writing in The Lion&#8217;s Den<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Edited by Leo Grin | Illustrated by Jae Woo Kim 40 pages This issue was printed in two editions.
