Lin Carter's Callisto books are quite good. I read the first three, then took a break. Might eventually take up the next two, I recall an ERBZine review that the 4th and 5th book are good.

I'm a huge fan of The Gor books. They aren't great literature and they certainly aren't for everyone. However the exploration of Gor and it's barbaric customs and cultures alongside the pulp action and sci-fi aesthetic are marvelous. That's just my opinion though.

Gor was my introduction to Sword & Planet. The Boris Vallejo covers really pulled me in.

Those are all good recommendations. One of my favorite sword and planet adventures is The Man of Gold, M.A.R. Barker's first Tekumel Book inspired by his seminal RPG Empire of the Petal Throne. I would also recommend a book that was probably one of ERB's inspirations, Gulliver of Mars by Edwin Lester Arnold - also called Lieut. Gullivar Jones: His Vacation.

I hear so much good stuff about Tekumel, but somehow haven't gotten around to exploring it yet.
