The titles have faded from the cloth binding. spine ends are frayed and there is some soiling to the covers. Jacket is torn and shipped all around. A unique copy. Marginalia was collected by August Derleth and Donald Wandrei. Arkham House, Sauk City, Wisconsin. 1944. pp. x., 377. $3.00. 2035 copies. The jacket design is a reproduction of Virgil Finlay's illustration for H.P. Lovecraft's story "The Shunned House," from Weird Tales, October 1937. Derleth first introduced Marginalia on the back of Clark Ashton Smith's book Lost World published by Arkham House the same year. He writes that "this third book by the late H.P. Lovecraft is one of many surprises. Admittedly a "loose ends" book, it contains early prose by the master, certain ghost-written pieces, revisions, and essays, together with fragments. Here are The Thing in the Moonlight, Notes on the Writing of Weird Fiction, Imprisoned with the Pharaohs, Medusa's Coil; here are appreciations of H.P.L. by Frank Belknap Long and others; there are photographs of Lovecraft, his study, his script, his drawings, making Marginalia an associational item you cannot afford to be without.
