DAW books

When I was growing up I started my reading of fantasy with R E Howard's Conan books and science fiction books by A E Van Vogt and Isaac Asimov.

I still remember picking up my first R E Howard Conan book, the Sphere edition of Conan, when I was 10 years old at a charity event run for the local children's hospital (which was to take out my appendix a few years later)

I think my original version was black surround 

but picked this up recently.

Every now and then over the coming years I would pick up a book by the DAW publisher.

It allowed me to sample the works of new writers and I loved the yellow spine which made them all look so neat on my shelf.

A few years ago I started coming across DAW books in Charity shops and decided to pick them up with a view to re-reading, or reading them for the first time.

A year or so later it became more about the collecting than the reading but I am working my way, slowly, through them.
