eBay
Hello! I'm Jim Camp, owner/operator of the synaesthesia press. I'm a letterpress printer, I publish, and from time to time I'm a bookseller. Actually, it's all pretty much time-to-time with the synaesthesia press. I've been collecting books for 30 years now, and most of what I'm going to start offering here I've held for at least the last 20 years...some longer. It's time these titles found a new home. I'll start all auctions at 99 cents with no reserve on a 10-day auction, and no...I won't end any auctions early to sell off eBay. Please don't ask. If you're a collector, you might score! If you're a bookseller, you might grab something at (or below) wholesale! With that in mind, GOOD LUCK and let's go!

Offering: The Dunwich Horror And Others by H.P. LOVECRAFT. Sauk City, WI: Arkham House, 1963. VG- in like DJ. First edition thus, one of 3,000 copies printed. I have seen one bookseller list the true Arkham House has a $5 price and no headband to the book, but I can't confirm this anywhere else. This copy does have the book headband and a price on the DJ of $6.50.

The book's only real flaw is the previous owner's name/address/date inside front cover. Other than that, book cloth is clean and black with gold letters on spine bright and not rubbed. There's one tiny spot on the upper corner of the front cover as well. VG- DJ intact ($6.50 price showing) that shows better-than-typical wear for a 50+ year old book.

Any Arkham print of this title is rare in dust jacket, which features a macabre character from the tales, Wilbur Whateley of Dunwich Horror, drawn by Lee Brown Coye, famed artist for Arkham House. Derleth supplies the introduction, for he began publishing Lovecraft in book form in 1939 with the Outsider, and all his early productions are highly sought after by true devotees of the mysterious.

Remember to come back regularly to check my eBay store for some of the original titles I've published/printed (as well as my other auctions), keep your eyes peeled from upcoming auctions (I've got a lot of Bukowski, Beats, little mags, modern firsts), and support your local indie bookstores! Oh...and one last thing: please like the synaesthesia press if you're over on Facebook!
