About This Item
Sauk City, Wisconsin: Arkham House, 1964. 1st Edition 3rd Printing. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Lee Brown Coye (cover). (Please read the book's condition carefully.) A VERY GOOD copy, but with significant FLAWS which could very likely deter the discerning collector...CONDITION: The book itself is bright, solidly-bound and square, with minimal shelf-wear, its pages uncreased and unmarked - ** but there is a BOOKSTORE STAMP on the front free end-paper and title page, plus a previous owner's BOOKPLATE on the rear free end-paper. The dust jacket - in a clear plastic (removable) protective cover - is complete (not price-clipped), unmarked and uncreased, with sunning on the spine - **but the FLAPS are permanently GLUED DOWN onto the book. Dreadful, I say! Such a pity, as this would otherwise be an excellent-condition copy. // DESCRIPTION: The definitive collection of Lovecraft's longer work (see accompanying scan image of the Contents page), selected and with an Introduction by August Derleth. 432 pages. [Third printing - 3,000 copies; 1971]
