I just picked up a copy of Saberhagen's First Book of Swords in excellent condition from a local used book drive. Dont really know anything about the author and very little about the series in question (aside from what I read on Amazon before picking it up), but Im looking forward to reading this novel. Just wondering if anyone has read the rest of them, or if anyone can post a list of all the books in the series? Im having trouble finding a definitive list aside from browsing Saberhagen's entire catalog on Amazon.

Thanks in advance to whoever can help me out.

I read a few of the Swords books (actually, might have the "Lost Swords" series), but they were out of order, partly because I was a bit confused about what the right order was. They were moderately entertaining but nothing particularly special.

I read all of these in High School. Awesome books. Not very detailed, but great stories. My fave was Woundhealer. This soldier/knight jumps off a cliff to escape his enemies. This obviously breaks his legs and kills his horse. He takes Woundhealer and cuts through his shattered body so he can walk again! Another I loved was Farslayer. You could command it to kill someone and it would hit its mark. So this sword would find itself flying between enemy camps slaying everyone!
