This is a terrific book because it has Robert E. Howard's illustrations and also maps of Hyboria. Quote from Bill Cavalier on page iii "The book which you hold in your hands is unlike any other Robert E. Howard "book" you'll ever find. While most of the 3.8 million words he pounded out on his workhorse Underwood #5 are in the process of being made avalable to everyone, the contents of this book haven't been seen by a whole lot of people outside of Howard Fandom. These Collected Drawings of Robert E. Howard are indeed that: a compilation of all the know cartoons, doodles, maps and little bits of Ol' Two-Gun having fun with a pencil." UnQuote This is a must have book for all and on page ii is a large black and white picture of Robert and Patches his dog standing in front of his home where he and his mom and dad lived. Highly recommended!
