I managed to pick up three relatively uncommon Clark Ashton Smith items from Heritage Auction’s weekly book auction:<\/p>\n

  • Smith, Clark Ashton. The Tartarus of the Suns<\/b>. Roy A. Squires, 1970. First edition thread-bound chapbook, a Fine copy in envelope. The Fugitive Poems, First Fascicle, Zothique Edition. This is copy 105. Donald Sydney-Fryer, Emperor of Dreams: A Clark Ashton Smith Bibliography<\/b>, P. 140. Chalker Owings, P. 588.\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

  • Smith, Clark Ashton. The Titans in Tartarus<\/b>. Roy A. Squires, 1974. First edition thread-bound chapbook, a Fine copy in envelope. The Fugitive Poems, Second Series, First Volume, Xigarph edition. This is copy 30 of the “small” edition (as opposed to the “manuscript” sized edition). Donald Sydney-Fryer, Emperor of Dreams: A Clark Ashton Smith Bibliography<\/b>, P. 140. Chalker Owings, P. 589.\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

  • (Smith, Clark Ashton). The Tales of Clark Ashton Smith: A Bibliography<\/b>. Thomas C. L. Cockcoft, 1951. First edition chapbook, one of 500 copies, Near Fine- with a few small spots of soiling, phantom crease to rear dust jacket, and age darkening. Non-fiction. Currey (1978), P. 455. Tymn Schlobin Currey, A Research Guide to Science Fiction Studies<\/b>, 323. A very early Clark Ashton Smith bibliography. Not as useful as I hoped it would be.\n<\/li>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    I’d long heard that Roy A. Squires’ small press chapbooks were very well made, and I finally was able to snag a couple of them at a reasonable price.<\/p>\n

    I bought the Cockcroft because, well, I’m slightly fanatical about collecting bibliographic material, but also because I was hoping it might have some things not in Emperor of Dreams<\/b>, but that doesn’t appear to be the case. I really would like a better Smith bibliography, as Emperor of Dreams<\/b> is perhaps the most confusingly organized bibliography I’ve ever seen.<\/p>\n

    Unlike a complete H. P. Lovecraft collection, a complete Clark Ashton Smith collection is probably within my means, but it’s a pretty long-term goal…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
