LOVECRAFT, H. P. (1890-1937) & August DERLETH (1909-71).  The Survivor and Others. Sauk City, Wisconsin: Arkham House, 1957. 8vo (187 x 135mm). Half title, woodcut printer's device on the title. Original black cloth, the spine lettered in gilt, dust-jacket by Ronald Clyne with price of $3.00 unclipped (some light staining to the edges of the lower wrapper of the jacket). Provenance: David Slafer (bookplate); Messrs. Berkelouw (small bookseller's label on the front pastedown). FIRST EDITION. A printed note at the end states: "Two thousand copies of this book have been printed by The Collegiate Press, George Banta Company, Inc., Menasha, Wisconsin, from linotype Garamond on Winnebago Eggshell. The binding cloth is Holliston Black Novelex." A printed note on the front turn-in states: "These are tales of terrifying witchcraft, of cosmic horror, of quaint magic, such as only H. P. Lovecraft could have conceived. Here in these pages Great Cthulhu walks again, the Dunwich-Arkham country lives once more, and, in a final allegory, Lovecraft himself is portrayed in a quasi-autobiographical manner. August Derleth's completion of these stories was a labor of love. Perhaps no other contemporary writer has so closely emulated the Lovecraft style as he - as these stories testify." Please note that the original dust-jacket has been photographed in its modern protective archival Mylar wrapper, thereby avoiding any risk of damage through its temporary removal. Jaffery The Arkham House Companion (1992) pp.45-46; Joshi H.
