W. Paul Cook is remembered most often as a friend of H. P. Lovecraft; and so he has lingered posthumously in the shadow of his famous friend. He labored with love for half a century as a printer, publisher, editor, and author; the pleasure of the work itself was often the only reward for his labors. The purpose of this book is to place Cook in his own light; to illuminate his own talents as a writer of fiction, essays, and poetry; as a publisher and printer; and as a sincere exponent of amateur journalism. We will re-open the door, as best we can, to understand and appreciate the life of a modest man who styled himself “an ordinary printer,” but whom friends called “the Colossus of the North” and a “sterling patron of weird literature.”

Trade paperback original. First edition (& 1st printing). 240 pages: with detailed bibliography of W. Paul Cook's amateur publications. W. Paul Cook (1880-1948) is best known as a friend and publisher of H. P. Lovecraft. But there was much more to Cook's life and work than his relationship with a famous man. Cook was first and foremost a printer. From his 60-year association with amateur journalism, during which he produced important magazines like the Recluse, the Vagrant, and the Ghost, founded The Recluse Press (1925-1929), and acted as the de facto publisher of The Driftwind Press (1941-1948), most of his activities were influenced by his love of printing.
