Arkham House, 1957. First edition hardback, a Fine- copy with an old bookstore sticker inside the front cover and just a trace of foxing to gutters, in a Near Fine, price-clipped dust jacket with slight dust soiling to rear cover and slight age-darkening to letters, and a few other touches of wear. &#8220;Another volume that must be called a landmark.&#8221; &#8211; S. T. Joshi, <b>Sixty Years of Arkham House<\/b>. Howard&#8217;s first poetry collection, the second of three Howard books published by Arkham House, compiled by Howard estate executor Glenn Lord. Derleth, <b>Thirty Years of Arkham House<\/b>, 50. Joshi, <b>Sixty Years of Arkham House<\/b> 50. Jaffrey, <b>Horrors and Unpleasantries<\/b>, 49. Nielsen, <b>Arkham House Books<\/b> 53. Nielsen also ranks it 9th for scarcity and 13th most valuable, though the latter is out of date, since it&#8217;s much pricier and harder to find that <b>Skull-Face and Others<\/b> these days.
