1920179967Boston: Marshall Jones 1920. From the facts to the fantastic First edition Lovecraft's copy inscribed on the front free endpaper "H. P. Lovecraft Gent. His book. 1924". Lovecraft was well-studied in the history and lore of New England and used this knowledge to imbue his writings with an antiquarian flavour. He took care with the details of geography and setting in his tales using reference works such as this to ensure accuracy. In this copy Lovecraft has loosely inserted four newspaper clippings from the Boston Post and the Boston Globe relating to historical buildings in the city. An active preservationist he wrote frequently to local newspapers expressing outrage over threats to historic buildings. He advocated for a city-funded rehabilitation programme for historic structures as well as zoning laws that would protect neighbourhoods and keep new construction compatible with the city's fabric. His personal correspondence "frequently laments the destruction of historic architecture; for example in 1927 he was 'mortified' to discover that the 17th-century neighbourhood of Boston's North End had been largely demolished" Evans p. 111. Lovecraft's first novelette The Shunned House written in October 1924 was inspired by two 18th-century houses one in Providence and another in Elizabeth New Jersey. Boston itself features frequently in his tales notably in Pickman's Model a short story written in September 1926 and published in Weird Tales in October 1927. Octavo. Frontispiece 23 plates 7 folding maps. Original black quarter cloth spine lettered in gilt brown board sides with paper title label on front fore and bottom edges untrimmed. Edges somewhat worn neat repairs to head of front joint and inner hinges browning to endpapers and p. 131 from Lovecraft's clippings. A well-read copy in good condition. Lovecraft's Library 968.

198949575New York: Sotheby's 1989. Hardcover. 4to. Black cloth with gilt lettering. Ca. 300pp. Color frontispiece numerous illustrations many color. Very good. Tight and internally fine with just the slightest general binding wear. Nicolas Barker provides the foreword for this celebrated catalogue -- and this copy bears on front flyleaf a fine decorative-edged bookplate signed boldly by him in his lovely calligraphic script. Title page duly notes that this famed gathering was "Conceived and Formed by Haven O'More" and "Funded by Michael Davis" -- this last of which brought about its sudden dispersal. O'More actually Richard Haven Moore 1929-2008 electrified the rare book world when he appeared seemingly out of nowhere and bought lavishly and widely the end coming as quickly as the beginning with this high-profile auction. For a thorough treatment read chapter six of Nicholas Basbane's 1995 bestseller "A Gentle Madness" which profiles O'More's bizarre bibliophilia. Laid in in clear sleeve is an addendum leaf "Auction Estimates" pages and copy of 5pp fax of handwritten prices realized. Superb copy of the catalogue of one of the strangest collections ever.
