''The Conan Grimoire'' is a 1972 collection of essays, poetry and fiction edited by L. Sprague de Camp and George H. Scithers, published in hardcover by Mirage Press. The essays were originally published as articles in Scithers' fanzine ''Amra''. The book is a companion to Mirage’s previous two volumes of material from ''Amra'', ''The Conan Reader'' (1968) and ''The Conan Swordbook'' (1969). Most of the material in the three volumes, together with some additional material, was later reprinted in two de Camp-edited paperback anthologies from Ace Books; ''The Blade of Conan'' (1979) and ''The Spell of Conan'' (1980). The book consists of thirty-seven pieces, mostly essays on fantasy writer Robert E. Howard and his seminal sword and sorcery hero Conan the Barbarian, Howard's sources and literary successors, and other fantasy authors such as Edgar Rice Burroughs, Eric Rücker Eddison, Jack Vance, Fritz Leiber and Talbot Mundy. Some original material by Howard, a number of fantasy poems and a few fictional pieces are also included. ==Contents== *“Swordsmen and Sorcerers at Play” (Lin Carter) *“Letters to Clark Ashton Smith” (Robert E.
