When I submitted my stuff, they accepted these and asked me to buy twelve copies of the book. I told them I couldn't do it, and to send my stuff back. They wrote and told me they wanted to publish it anyway, and I didn't have to buy any copies if I didn't want to. I told them I'd take a couple of extra copies and see if I could sell them." ---and at roughly the same time, REH wrote to August Derleth, "I'm sending you an announcement of an anthology which contains a couple of my rhymes; I know very little about it; I sent my verses in on a venture, they suggested I buy so many volumes of the book, I replied that I didn't care to pay for the privilege of having my junk published, and they said they'd include the rhymes anyway"---, ---it is not known if REH ever had copies for himself or for resale, any image directly beside this listing is the actual book and not a generic photo

Near Fine Uncredited Cover Art
----------hardcover, a Near Fine copyin a very lightly rubbed Near Fine dustjacket, VERY small nick on front panel, rear lower corner is ever so slightly bumped, a bit of age toning to paper, a sharp copy, ---"The man who wakes up in the extraordinary world of a bridge has amnesia, and his doctor doesn't seem to want to cure him. Does it matter? Exploring the bridge occupies most of his days. But at night there are his dreams. Dreams in which desperate men drive sealed carriages across barren mountains to a bizarre rendezvous; an illiterate barbarian storms an enchanted tower under a stream of verbal abuse; and broken men walk forever over bridges without end, taunted by visions of a doomed sexuality. Lying in bed unconscious after an accident wouldn't be much fun, you'd think. Oh yes? It depends who and what you've left behind. Which is the stranger reality, day or night? Frequently hilarious and consistently disturbing, THE BRIDGE is a novel of outrageous contrasts, constructed chaos and elegant absurdities."---, any image directly beside this listing is the actual book and not a generic photo
