The Mastodon Book Of Sword and Sorcery (or something that I'd like to see)

lemuriapress mentioned not so long ago he was considering an anthology of Sword and Sorcery for his super cool Planet Stories line of books (didn't mention anything about huge prehistoric elephants, though).

I also just came across at discussion by slushmaster here : http://slushmaster.livejournal.com/128236.html ( Read more... )

Your first list includes the two Conan stories I'd prefer to include in my anthology. The controllers of that particular estate have tied all of the stories up in exclusive anthos already, though, so I may be printing something more obscure.

You've picked the two best Jirel stories, but I probably won't include those in favor of material I have not already republished.

Welleran is my favorite Dunsany story to date, but I am currently seeking ones that have not been as heavily republished.

You have excellent taste, sir.

Thanks.

Mastodon, being in Australia, would publish as many Conan stories as they liked, being public domain and all. :)

Being you would be different, sure, wanting people to buy all your books! :) Presumably you'd give Kuttner the arse, too, in that case?

Could be all 21st century too and just give the URL for Dunsany, saying find it here, given not modern - and include something interesting and more recent.
