Whoa.
Joel A., have you not read the Skaith books yet? Ooo-boy-howdy!I know! I know! *hides head in shame*
Stop what you're doing right now and ORDER THOSE PUPPIES!
Miracle in three dimensions - a CL Moore collection - has a nice little short story set on Venus called "There Shall be Darkness" which is really superb. The best in the collection, I think.
It would make a nice package with Clash by Night and a few other old stories, but to an extent that splits the market far too much - Haffner Press' Detour to Otherness looks nice, but I pretty much have all of it already, in various forms.

Don't forget Ray Cummings! He's not all that great, honestly, but his "Tama of the Light Country" and "Tama, Princess of Mercury" are fun semi-early entries into the genre that I found charming.
The Skaith books we've already published, obviously.
If you enjoyed Otis Adelbert Kline's Mars books, you'll probably love his Venus books. Just try to get the unedited versions as they first appeared in Argosy, as the book editors have not been kind (try eBay for this).
A lot of people seem to enjoy Lin Carter's Callisto books. I haven't read them.
I have read Carter's Thongor series, which is also pretty much sword and planet, and I have to say I didn't think they were very good.

I cannot honestly say that I've read the Thongor series, but I cannot recommend strongly enough that you stay away from Lin Carter.
Being a huge Cthulhu mythos nut, I've had the distinct displeasure of reading a number of his pastiches.
Lin Carter has to be respected as a man who worked slavishly to promote the pulps as an editor and historian, both in sword & sorcery and mythos tales. However, his writing is simply atrocious, and may be the worst widely-published mythos author, which is no small feat.
I cannot imagine that his sword and planet stories were of much higher a caliber.

What a negative post! You're entitled to your opinion of course, but if you're looking at Planetary Romance at all it's a little hard to harp on quality.
Lin Carter's books were great, I thought, for the record.
I'd HIGHLY recommend the Ginger Star books. They were a fun, flavourful twist on the genre.

It's certainly possible that Carter's sword and planet stories are appreciated amongst aficionados, but these days he's pretty much universally reviled in the mythos community.
Again, I want to emphasize that we owe him a debt of gratitude for his work as an editor, but that my experiences with his writing were extremely negative. Being no expert in planetary romance, I defer to your authority, but am still leery based on previous exposure.
I'm sorry that the post came off as too negative, but felt I should warn potential readers before they spend their hard-earned money.
