The Sword of Conan

No book-club edition is documented for this title, and the Gnome Press bibliography lists no variants. The structural Gnome caveat still governs the imprint generally: with a single exception (The Carnelian Cube), Gnome never announced that it had reprinted a book and left the edition statement unchanged on the copyright page, and Greenberg bound only part of a run at a time, warehousing sheets and later binding them in whatever boards the printer had — eight second printings and one third printing are known across the imprint. Jacket back panels were updated to list the latest Gnome titles, so back-panel advertising is the customary cross-check. Later Lancer/Ace paperback recastings of the Conan canon are wholly different editions, not states of this book.
