Its interesting how many people became HW fans through Moorcock books. I first heard about HW in a very differnt kind of book. It was a serious book on astronomy by Ian Ridpath (now a top British astronomy author)called 'WORLDS BEYOND' from about '75. He devoted several lines to them which seemed out of place in that kind of book, but if its intention was to turn people on to HW it worked with at least one,  I checked them out soon after reading it (RoadHawks) and was instantly hooked. I still have the book, its one of my most treasured posessions.
