Marvel Comics and ACE Books join together to reprint early Conan stories (and the comic artwork) by Roy Thomas and Barry (Winsor) Smith. This edition has three (3) stories (and associated art). Note that I am leaving Stan Lee as 'author' as he should get credit for everything Marvel Comics has done! I will see if I can sort out this series and find out who really edited this mash-up.

This ACE Letter-Number series was printed at least three times with the same price and cover art. The only way to differentiate the two additional printings is the advertisements in the back. In the 1st printing,  all of the advertisements were of the unnumbered type. In the second printing, probably February 1971, one advertisement has 8A-2-71 while the other advertisements just have numbers. The third printing, around June 1971, not only had the 8A-2-71 advertisement, but also 25-6-71 and [24]-6-7. Wow, and you thought the ads at the back were only good for checking on what new Andre Norton story you wanted to buy!

The title at the end of Sir Walter Scott's name is Bart. "Bart." means baronet, which is the lowest rank of nobility, but one grade up from a knight. Both are called "Sir." These "letters" are epistolary lectures on the theory and practice and demonology and witchcraft. Scott was an expert in matters arcane and occult, as well as in the more mundane mediaeval history of Europe and the Middle East. Lastly, the blurb on page 1 ends with "It is with great pride that Ace Publishing Corporation presents this new edition, which follows word for word the original text." The text includes Scott's chapter headings, and footnotes but has no index.

16730 -6 Dream Park Larry Niven

In answer to my comment on the 'out of sequence' appearance of this edition, I have new information (Thank you Bill).  This particular printing copies an earlier copyright page, but gives NO data on the current printing [except for the artist credit]. It has a new 10-1 number line, but is at least the 13th printing. It came out in April 2003 as part of the Ace 50th Anniversary year, although it has new artwork (by Matt Stawicki). Note that this particular ACE Letter-Number has been in use since about 1986 [through about 6-8 printings and at least three different covers]

16831 -6 Up From Nowhere Walter Oleksy Mystery 1982 1982; 1st thus ACE Charter edition ~~ Up From Nowhere is the first story in a series called Tom Delos & The Guardians. It appears to be aimed at the "Young Adult" crowd and is a mixture of mystery, 'coming of age' and gang affiliation (hmmmm - reminds me of the 'juvenile delinquent' stories in the late 1950's to early 1960's). I am not certain it should be here but have to see what the other volumes are like in this series - more on this later.
