Lovecraft, H[oward] P[hillips]. THE LOVECRAFT COLLECTORS LIBRARY: SELECTED ESSAYS [First and Second Series], SELECTED POETRY [First and Second Series], THE AMATEUR JOURNALIST, BIBLIOGRAPHIES and COMMENTARIES. North Tonawanda, New York: SSR Publications, 1952-1955. Large octavo, seven volumes, mimeographed from typewritten copy, printed wrappers, black cloth tape shelf backs, stapled. First edition. Limited to 75 numbered sets, this being copy number 50. All published. Joshi I-A-28-a, III-B-35, and II-C-27. A legendary -- and very fragile -- production, with covers and text paper on very poor pulp-like paper stock. As is usually the case, the text paper is tanned and covers are darkened, largely at edges, but, aside from a faint stain at the bottom edge of the front cover of volume I and a similar light stain at the bottom edge of the rear cover of volume VII, this is a remarkable, nearly fine set. Individual issues are hard to come by, complete sets are rare, especially in nice condition. (#160416).
