I doubt the UK market is perceived to be bigger , I don't know the details
of the deal but Gollenz have published the 2 volumes as part of thier
Fantasy Masterworks series over here . Volume 1 was number 8 of the series ,
Volume 2 is number 16 . Out next are 2 other barbarian books : Elric and The
First Book of Lankhmar.
There is also a companion SF Masterworks which is now into the 40's.
As far as Howard's concerned I think that's it , just for this series , the
real stuff are the WS ones to come .
