About This Item
W. Paul Cook / The Recluse Press; Arkham House, 1928. First Edition. Very Good. Printed but unpublished in 1928 by W. Paul Cook, this is one of the copies distributed by Arkham House in the 1950s, before the rest of their stock was bound in Arkham's black cloth binding in 1961. Unbound sheets with "Canterbury Laid" watermark and "COPYRIGHT 1928 / By W. PAUL COOK" under Arkham House cancel at copyright page; Currey (C), distributed by Arkham starting ca 1952 with cancel copyright notice containing copyrights for 1936, 1937, 1939, and 1947. Arkham cancel (a) with book and magazine titles in bold (no established priority on cancel notice). Pages uncut. Light toning, slight corner crease throughout top right corner. The fourth signature has sparse, very faint insect damage to margins of back page and attendant minor chipping to the back page's edges. Else fine. A lovely example of a true rarity in Lovecraft collecting.
