The Fabulous Conan Series
1957 Gnome Press Catalog page

Doug Ellis has posted a rare bit of Robert E. Howard Conan ephemera on Facebook.  

Doug Ellis says:
Below is the front page of the 1957 Gnome Press catalog.
The catalog is four pages long, printed on an 11" x 17" sheet of paper folded in half.

Among other books, it advertises "The Fabulous Conan Series," stating "CONAN, the very-human splendid barbarian, who found high adventure and fought both men or demon in his climb to kingship in the magical pre-dawn lands of Hyboria." And then followed by a quote on the Conan stories from a professor in the History Department at SMU.

Inside was a one sided sheet offering their Christmas Discount Offer, 10 books for $12.
I'd gladly pay that!

Thanks to Doug Ellis for posting this!
