Two items related to Dracula.
Edward Gorey.
Includes: Dracula: A Toy Theatre. The sets and costumes of the Broadway production of the play, designed by Edward Gorey. 20 pp. 38.5x25.5 cm. (15¼x10”), spiral bound wrappers. First Edition. Scribner’s, 1979. * Playbill. Martin Beck Theatre: Dracula. Wrappers. An original playbill from the 1977 Broadway production of Stoker’s novel, the set and costumes for which were designed by Gorey. From the 1977 opening season of the production.
The Shunned House.
H.P. Lovecraft. Athol, Massachusetts: W. Paul Cook - The Recluse Press, 1928.
First edition / First printing, Unbound sheets housed in a specially made oatmeal cloth clamshell case.
First edition printing of Lovecraft’s first book. This is one of approximately 50 sets of unbound sheets, from a total print run of approximately 300 sets of sheets. The convoluted publishing history of this most famous Lovecraft work is described in detail by Roy A. Squires in Jaffery’s “Horrors and Unpleasantries,” #62. By 1961, Arkham House had acquired 150 sets and bound 100 of them, leaving 50 unbound sets available for sale as sheets only. This is one of those sets and contains the Arkham House copyright paste-over label, with book titles printed in bold, as described by Squires.
B-A Note: This is by far the highest price - $14,000! - that I’ve seen on any Lovecraft book. Given the description and the “convoluted publishing history” I guess I can understand why. All in all, though, a lovely presentation.
Side note - I am extremely interested in reading “Horrors and Unpleasantries” now, and can only daydream about having a month free to peruse the Jaffery Collection at BGSU with fellow horror aesthetes ghoulnextdoor and ontheborderland. Maybe someday.
