The Complete Chronicles of Conan
Conan the Cimmerian: the boy-thief who became a mercenary, who fought and loved his way across fabled lands to become King of Aquilonia. Neither supernatural fiends nore demonic sorcery could oppose the barbarian warrior as he wielded his mighty sword and dispatched his enemies to a bloody doom on the battlefields of the legendary Hyborian age. Collected together in one volume for the very first time, in chronological order, are Robert E. Howard's tales of the legendary hero, as fresh and atmospheric today as when they were first published in the pulp magazines of more than seventy years ago. Compiled by and with a foreward and afterword by award-winning writer and editor Stephen Jones

The puritan in me prefers the two book collections that's purely only RE Howard's original stories with a few story fragments thrown in and also has them laid out in chronological order based on Conan's age in each story. I had read a review a while back that said some of the stories in this collection included the versions with revisions and interpolations by L Sprauge de Camp and Lin Carter. Two authors who garner a very mixed reaction from the larger Conan fan community. Still, it's a nice and fairly complete edition and the original Conan stories are just as spellbinding as they have always been.
