About This Item
Saddle River: Gerry de la Ree, 1973. First Edition. After purchasing the Samuel Loveman, Clark Ashton Smith collection in 1970-71, Gerry de la Ree published two Clark Ashton Smith books: Grotesques and Fantastiques being the first, Klarkash-ton & Monstro Ligriv, the second. Printed in an edition of 650 copies, 600 unfortunately, were published with stiff-paper covers, only 50 in hardcover. In my opinion the entire 600 copy edition of Grotesques & Fantastiques, should've been published in hardcover, it is that important an addition to the CAS canon. The book contains sixteen previously unpublished poems, twenty-four "grotesques" pieces of original art, plus both covers, and a six-page introduction, mostly reprinting portions of letters from CAS to Loveman. This little volume is a treasure trouve to any Clark Ashton Smith enthusiast. A fine copy in stiff-paper covers.

I primarily focus on books, but manuscripts, letters, any holograph material is of interest. In addition, I buy and sell original illustration artwork by Gary Gianni, Virgil Finlay, Roy Krenkel, and illustrators from the PULP and Classic Illustration Era. Permanent wants are H.P. Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard, Stephen King, Arkham House authors, Robert Aickman, and others in the English, Ghost Story genre.
