About This Item
Sauk City, WI: Arkham House, 1939. First Collected Edition. Octavo. Limited to only 1268 copies of this early Lovecraft classic. 553pp. A very good copy of a work with nightmarish creatures with unequalled stories of the macabre that sweep beyond all barriers to those undiscovered lands out of space and time. When Lovecraft died in 1937, his friends August Derleth and Donald Wandrei began to assemble his known writings, stories, poems, essays and with its appearance brought the genius to a much wider public. The book quickly sold out and has become a cornerstone for the serious Lovecraft collector. Bound in black cloth, spine lettering gilt, corners lightly bumped, previous owner's name on front pastedown, C.F. Hunt, March 30, 1959. A very good copy without the rare dust jacket.
