Lancer went backrupt in 1973,
but the Lancer Conan titles returned to bookstores in 1977.
The publisher (Ace Books) claimed to be only distributing the
series.
The books were purportedly published by Prestige Books.
However, there was no editorial address or contact information
for Prestige in the books.
|
The Prestige books are known
to exist in at least two states.
Some have "DISTRIBUTED BY ACE BOOKS" on the cover, title and
copyright pages.
Prestige Books is listed as the publisher only on the title page.
Some have "ACE" on the cover and are stamped with "Prestige"
on the copyright page.

The Conan series continued up
to the late 1980's and is the basis for numerous licensed as well as
bootleg non-English editions. The Conan series is by far the most reproduced
REH series in the world. It is quite possible that over one million copies
of this book are in print.
