Affiliate Link – Conan the Barbarian Ultimate Guide

I’ve already got a copy of this Conan the Barbarian Ultimate Guide* and can say that it is an excellent piece of work. Packed with artwork from novels and comics, the book is beautiful and it is loaded with enough information on Conan to get anyone up to speed on the character and his tales. Man, I should pull this book down and read it again and then write a “Reading” post about it with lots of pics. It’s a very fun book.

For more than 70 years, fantasy fans have followed the exploits of Conan through novels, comic books, and movies. This book, the first-ever illustrated guide to Robert E. Howard’s most beloved character, is a genuine treasure chest of Conan lore, following Conan through the ages, through his different careers, as he meets friends and foes and travels across the Hyborian continent.
