TC<\/em> editors advertising (I refuse to use the term “pimping”) their personal literary items for sale has a long history here on the blog.\u00a0 Check out this post by Leo Grin<\/a> (and several subsequent).<\/p>\n

Times are dire here in serpent-haunted SEK. Musing on such, a decision was reached by yours truly. Time to lighten the load for the journey into the future.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I own the two-volume set of A Means to Freedom<\/em> from Hippocampus. I’ll be taking it to Cross Plains this Friday.\u00a0My firm asking price is $300.\u00a0 Cash or (possibly) check. The set has been read once. Very minor shelf-wear. Since I’m not a full-blown book collector (much like Leo), I will rely on the expertise of Paul Herman and [redacted] as to the exact condition when I reach Howard Days.<\/p>\n

Speaking of Paul Herman, he just announced on the Official Robert E. Howard Forum that Paradox has\u00a0kindly donated a set of AMtF to the Silent Auction for Project Pride.<\/p>\n

For any who might feel qualms about buying the set from me<\/em>, all I can say is that you can contact me after the Silent Auction. However, this is a Darwinian struggle for survival. I’ll take offers whenever they come. I’m really beginning to get an inkling of how REH felt in 1936.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As mentioned in the headline, I am also bringing along the two Night Shade hardcover collections of Wagner’s Kane oeuvre<\/em>. Once again, minor shelf-wear.\u00a0My price is a firm $150 for the set.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If neither set sells in Cross Plains, both will go on ebay at a higher price and shipping added into the bargain. I’ll be bringing other cool stuff to Howard Days (as well as a piece for the Silent Auction), so feel free to seek me out.\u00a0The (by then)\u00a0former Managing Editor of The Cimmerian<\/em> blog will\u00a0be heading back to Dallas after the REH Foundation awards ceremony.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
