About This Item
Sauk City: Arkham House, 2003. First Edition. Two hundred-seven-six letters are referenced, from the year 1911, when CAS was eighteen, until just a few weeks before his death in 1961. Smith's letters are in no way as compelling, absorbing, or entertaining as Lovecraft's, as Smith, in addition to working hard manual labor, writing his fictions, painting, and translating, he didn't have the time on his hands that HPL did. An excellent frontispiece photo of CAS by the noted California photographer, Wynn Bullock, with a nice cover of a colorized, altered Walter J. Daugherty photo of Clark Ashton Smith Sculptures. As new copy in d.j.

I have been a collector/dealer since 1970, and handle collections from single items to libraries in all fields, but especially, HORROR, FANTASY & SCIENCE FICTION. I primarily focus on books, but manuscripts, letters, any holograph material is of interest. In addition, I buy and sell original illustration artwork by Gary Gianni, Virgil Finlay, Roy Krenkel, and illustrators from the PULP and Classic Illustration Era. Permanent wants are H.P. Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard, Stephen King, Arkham House authors, Robert Aickman, and others in the English, Ghost Story genre.
