I just received my copies of ELAK OF ATLANTIS and BATTLE IN THE DAWN, and I am very impressed with the quality and price. It is so nice to be able to have physical copies of these stories.
I noticed on your messageboard that you will not be publishing any more of these (at least any time soon). I am sorry that that is the case. The Planet Stories line is a really great idea. I am surprised (as I gather you are) that they were not more popular.
I had always hoped to see Robert E. Howard's 'Turlogh O'Brien' stories collected under one cover. It is kind of amazing, given the popularity of Howard over the years, that no one has ever done this. When I saw that Planet Stories had reprinted some of Manly Wade Wellman's work, I was hoping that I might finally see the 'Kardios' tales collected as well. For some unknown reason, they were left out of Night Shade's "definitive" collection.
Still, I wanted to write and say how happy I am with the two volumes I purchased. I am certain that others will (like me) discover them (late) and be equally pleased that you have made some great stories available again. Thank you !
