I believe the legal tangles in publishing Howard's correspondence have finally been put to rest, so that's no longer an issue, as it was for several decades (just as the question who owned the rights to unpublished works by HPL had been in limbo since the 1940s). But if I hear anything more, I'll let you know. |
The Collected Letters of Robert E. Howard (3 vols.) are available for pre-order from the Robert E. Howard Foundation. However, it may be wise to wait for the later POD editions (according to the grapevine, both tp and hc) that will appear eventually.
BTW, speaking of Smith letters: I know that work has been done on the correspondence between Samuel Loveman and Smith. However, the Loveman letters are difficult to arrange because Loveman seldom dated his letters, so this book probably won't appear for some time.
