Sentiment: An Olio of Rarer Works

REH Foundation Press

2009
Edition format
Hardcover

Publication date: December 2009

Introduction

Sentiment: An Olio of Rarer Works. This volume is the Howard collector’s dream, containing those hard-to-find stories from various small press publications from the 1960s, ’70s, and ’80s. No longer will readers have to seek out copies of Pay Day, Lurid Confessions #1, or The Dark Man #2; all of the Howard content in those volumes, and many more, are included here. Restored to Howard’s typescripts, when available.

Also included are many items seldom seen by collectors. “The Rivals” makes its first appearance outside of a Foundation Newsletter; all three issues of Howard’s amateur press publication, The Right Hook, are presented in their entirety; and many other hard-to-find pieces have finally found a home in Sentiment. For most of these items, this is their first publication in book form. Many of the pieces in this collection are juvenilia.

This massive volume, close to 600 pages, is printed in hardback with dust jacket, in a limited quantity of 300 copies, each individually numbered. Cover design by Jim Keegan; edited by Rob Roehm.
