5 out of 5 stars A superb edition - finally!   April 9, 2008
 10 out of 10 found this review helpful

This is truly a most worthy edition of the master's tales - and the price is laughable! A bargain if there ever was one!

I must, however, give vent to my anger regarding one point. It would seem as dough the fine people at Gollancz - unknowingly, I'm sure - have amongst their ranks a daemon! This fiend has revealed its presence to me by its ingenious manoeuvre of making sure that the sticker on the back of the book (combined price- and barcode sticker) has been applied using the most heinous kind of glue heretofore known to Man! Upon having removed the sticker, I found, much to my dismay that the slime, which lay hidden beneath, would not yield without a fierce fight; and it is with sore fingers I now write these words of warning. So either keep the sticker or be prepared to set aside some time for removing the glue.

In conclusion I'd like to express my hopes that Gollancz will follow up this release with similar editions of other authors such as, say, Clark Ashton Smith. Well, one can always hope ...



5 out of 5 stars At Last!   April 1, 2008
 9 out of 9 found this review helpful

Yes, at last there is a luxury hardback edition of all the best of Lovecraft - 36 stories, all the great classics. I really cannot praise this collection too highly: this is a volume to treasure for a lifetime, complete with suitably eldritch black-and-white illustrations, and even a map of Arkham. This book feels beautiful, looks beautiful, and at 11 it's the bargain of the century. For any Lovecraftian, it is absolutely essential.
