Edited by Rob Roehm
and Paul Herman

Kindle utilizes the mobi format.
|
All of the REH stories and portions
thereof come from Howard's original typescripts, manuscripts, and carbons,
when possible. Virtually all of the typescripts were scanned from the
Glenn Lord collection, now at the University of Texas, Austin; the Robert
E. Howard collection at Texas A&M University; or the typescript collection
at Cross Plains Library.
Other sources for texts herein include:
"Skull-Face" - about 3/4 from the original typescript and
1/4 from the first publication in Weird Tales
"The Story Thus Far" is from first publication in Weird
Tales. It consists of the short paragraphs that appeared
at the start of the second and third portions of "Skull-Face" as it appeared
in WEIRD TALES.
