First appearance
of "The Nameless Tribe Drafts"
|
Edited
by Mark Finn, Chris Gruber, and Jeffrey Shanks
|
A Signed
/ Numbered Limited Robert E. Howard Days edition was produced as the first
edition.
It was limited to 30 copies and signed by the editors and many of the contributors
that were at Robert E. Howard Days 2016.
|
The
Howard Days edition preceded the regular edition.
The regular edition received several more rounds of copy editing, adjustments
to images and layout, and the addition of advertisements and the names of
Kickstarter Supporters, Benefactors, and Founding Patrons.
|
The
page count difference between the two editions is primarily due to formatting
changes.
"A Revelation Dream" by Kenneth Bykerk only appears
in the 2016 Howard Days edition.
