L. W. Currey, Inc.

Lovecraft, H[oward] P[hillips]. CHARLESTON ... [caption title]. N.p., n.d. [but: 1936]. Large octavo, [1] 2-20 [21-22] leaves, mimeographed on rectos only, reproduced from typewritten copy, three photostat reproductions of maps and sketches by Lovecraft, stapled into brown paper folder, buff label with typewritten text affixed to front panel. First edition, second printing (first published version). Two printings were prepared in early 1936 by H. C. Koenig; the first in the form of a letter (probably fewer than 25 copies printed), the second, with minor textual changes, as an essay. Koenig later estimated that 30-50 copies of the published version were prepared. This copy does not have the two leaves of errata (photostat reproductions of handwritten corrections prepared by Lovecraft) laid into a few copies. Currey, p. 326. Joshi I-A-9 (see for printing history). Slight creasing and fraying to overlapping top and fore edges of wrappers, but a fine copy. Very scarce. (#130793).
