New York: Hippocampus Press:, 2002. Trade paperback, Near Fine, 203 pp. Cover artwork by: Jason C. Eckhardt I’m interested in libraries. . . most any library. You can tell a lot about a person by their garbage and their library. That’s weird. This is a catalog of the library of one H.P. Lovecraft and it makes for rather interesting reading. The guy had a great number of interesting books. Sure, there’s a lot of fiction in this catalog, a great many classics (you’d suspect as much from reading HPL) but there’s also a good number of books on spirituality, reference works, history, poetry, biographies and other books and subjects you might not suspect would be of interest to Lovecraft. Since we can’t go through his garbage, have a look at Lovecraft’s letters and his library and you’ll have a pretty good idea of what the guy was all about. The first edition of this book was published more than 20 years ago, this edition is substantially revised and enlarged and catalogs more than 1085 books.…

H. P. Lovecraft was one of the most well-read authors of his time, and his personal library constitutes an intimate glimpse into his mind and imagination. This fourth revised edition provides comprehensive information on 1085 books owned by Lovecraft.
These books focus chiefly on four key areas that Lovecraft found particularly fascinating: ancient literature and history; the history and antiquities of New England; astronomy, chemistry, and other sciences; and, of course, the literature of weird fiction. S. T. Joshi has supplied full publication information, tables of contents for many titles, data on Lovecraft’s discussions of the volumes in his stories, essays, poems, and letters, and a wealth of other information. To know Lovecraft’s mind, one must first know his books.
In this updated edition, eighty new titles have been added to the list of books owned by Lovecraft, and additional information has been supplied on all titles listed.
"Synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
