Sentiment: An Olio of Rarer Works
$59.00
The REH Foundation Press is proud to present Sentiment: An Olio of Rarer Works. This volume is the Howard collector’s dream, containing those hard-to-find stories from various small press publications from the 1960s, ’70s, and ’80s. No longer will readers have to seek out copies of Pay Day, Lurid Confessions #1, or The Dark Man #2; all of the Howard content in those volumes, and many more, is included here. Restored to Howard’s typescripts, when available.
Also included are many items seldom seen by collectors. “The Rivals” makes its first appearance outside of a Foundation Newsletter; all three issues of Howard’s amateur press publication, The Right Hook, are presented in their entirety; and many other hard-to-find pieces have finally found a home in Sentiment. For most of these items, this is their first publication in book form. Many of the pieces in this collection are juvenilia.
This massive volume, close to 600 pages, is printed in hardback with dust jacket, in a limited quantity of 300 copies, each individually numbered. Cover design by Jim Keegan; edited by Rob Roehm.

Jerry Maher –
Some ways feel kind of silly writing a review for a book published 12 years ago. It is a great book in many ways for a REH Completist or someone interested in seeing Howard create his stories. Some of the tales, I can see why he abandoned the story, some I wish he had completed as he had a great start to what appears would have hopefully been a great story. The only drawback to the book, for me, was that about a quarter to a third of the stories contained in this volume had been contained in the book “The Last of the Trunk” published two years earlier- first book I bought after finding out about the Foundation. For me I wished they had packed the book with other stories/fragments. But now “The Last of the Trunk” is out of print and not part of the Ultimate series to be published as all the stories contained in it are parts of other books so Sentiment now becomes a good source for the stories.

Sentiment Page xiii – Intro by Mark Finn – Quote “Howard’s intent, his flair for depicting the wildly spinning ambiguous moral compass of a man, was never more artfully rendered than in “Wild Water.” This is one of the most important stories that Howard wrote, and it’s a complete mystery as to why it never saw print in his lifetime.
Set against the real-life events that surrounded the construction of Lake Brownwood and the torrential rains that filled it overnight, Howard neatly outline the struggle of the poor farmers against the rich, monied special interests, and there can be no doubt as to which side Howard takes.
As a regional piece, it’s a good a tale as any Texas author ever wrote, and moreover, Howard in no way set any of his signature style aside for the subject matter. The knife fight atop the dam, in the midst of the maelstrom, is one of the grimmest things Howard ever wrote.” Unquote
Search Amazon , Wild Water – Robert E. Howard, and Cross Plains Sept 1975 Vol 1 #7 five images appear and one has the first four paragraphs of Wild Water. Cost is $55 and unavailable. You can put it on a wish list or for only $4 more get a Robert E. Howard Foundation First Edition of Sentiment, a rare collectible numbered edition, hard cover with dust jacket, close to 600 pages and an additional 112 of Robert E. Howard stories.
What is really cool is you can ask for a specific number 1-300 and if that number is available you’ll get it. If not available, you’ll get a number in stock as close as possible. The lowest numbers go to the Top Dogs of REH and rightfully so [:) . I got my requested number on all my REH Foundation books. Just let the REH Folks know what number you would like or if no preference. I think #300 would be sought after.
And a big thanks to Arlene Stephenson in Cross Plains for the careful handing of books for shipping. She is the boss of Project Pride and truly amazing. Every REH Foundation book I’ve gotten was delivered in Mint condition. The quality packaging is superb.
It’s just like Christmas when a REH Foundation Book arrives at my front door. I get (TOJ) Tingles of Joy.
