Notes
Edited by Rusty Burke
Design by Marcelo Anciano
Typography by Stuart Williams
The texts for this edition were based on Howard's original manuscripts and typescripts or the first published appearance if a manuscript or typescript was unavailable.
The color illustrations from the Wandering Star edition are reproduced in black and white.
The untitled fragment "Men have had visions ere now. ..." is not included in the Wandering Star edition.  It is believed that this was to be a Bran Mak Morn story.
Two of the Gary Gianni sketches are not included in the Bran Mak Morn sketchbook
"Men of the Shadows" has a verse heading ("Men of the Shadows")
and four untitled poems embodied in the story:
"Chant of the White Beard"
"Rune"
"Song of the Pict"
"The Race Without Name"
