The Complete Chronicles of Conan is a collection of Robert E. Howard's Conan stories, an omnibus of Gollancz's two earlier collections, with typesetting corrections and additional material. It also features one colour plate and many black-and-white illustrations by Les Edwards. Since its release, a number of typographical errors and changes to Howard's texts have been identified when compared to the Wandering Star and Del Rey editions.
