Swords and Sorcery

Wow - Mark Owings. There's a name to conjure with. I still have my ancient guide to the SF Fantasy Publishers that you did with Jack Chalker. Cool.

Oh, and thanks for the interesting post, SwordsSorcery.

Conan!

You are effectively right that the de Camp book was the first s&s anthology. There was a thing called Shanadu, ed. Robert Briney about ten years earlier, doubly ahead of its time in being a shared-world anthology. But that's so obscure that I've never seen a copy except on somebody else's bookshelves.

Kind of wish you had picked different music. Doesn't fit, to my mind.
