About This Item
Hippocampus Press: NY, 2006. First edition (& 1st printing). Trade paperback original. Volume 3. A self-proclaimed ''mechanistic materialist,'' Lovecraft took an unremittingly scientific view of reality. This perspective informed the whole of his literary output, but is nowhere so clearly seen as in this assemblage of his writings on science. Beginning with the scientific journals, treatises and astronomy columns of his early years, and continuing throughout his life, these writings illuminate Lovecraft's thought in a unique, and until now, largely unappreciated way. As a bonus, almost two-dozen of HPL's hand lettered star maps are reproduced. This preceded the hardcover edition by six weeks. First printing with ''1 3 5 7 9 8 6 4 2'' on copyright page. Fine (as new) copy.
