Sprague de CampA Conan Compendium by L.Sprague de CampThe two Ace Book collections of Amra articles, gleaned from the Mirage Press trilogy, omitted a number of items, and this ebook rectifies the situation.  The Exegesis (in this case, explaining the derivation of names) of Howard's Hyborian tales is a major item, and I've incorporated all of the later additions and added the 'discarded' version. Howard's letters to Preece, Derleth and Smith are also important, and I'd also add Anderson's translations to that list, though I can see why his fine version of Sonatorrek presented a problem: a long, narrow scroll of 25 8-line stanzas, that appeared in Amra as 3 columns side-by-side, takes up quite a few pages (as you'll find out for yourselves). I've left out two poems and a couple of drinking songs, and I don't think they'll be missed.  As The Blade of Conan and The Spell of Conan also carried 14 items not included in the Mirage set, it's fair to say that these (now) three books give a comprehensive covering of the hallowed magazine.  You'll find a link below, and I've also posted a simplified and searchable version of the fictionmags listing that may be of interest:Hyboria and Adjacent RealmsAn Exegesis of Howard's Hyborian Tales by L.
