Sobre este artículo
London: G.P. Putnam's, 1924. [First Edition]. Putnam publishers published three Dunsany volumes in a deluxe, oversized presentation, with vellum spine, heavy, quality book paper, and each copy edition signed by both the author, and artistthe author's personal favorite, Sidney H. Sime; Sime has signed under the frontispiece in the book, Dunsany's signature is slightly smudged, he always seemed to gather too much ink on his quill pen. Published in an edition of 250 signed, numbered copies. Vellum spine and cloth, slightly soiledfar less than usual, bright stamping on the leather label, sharp points at tips; barely noticible traces of foxing at some page edges. It's a fresh tight copy, one of the best I've handled. It's a tough one in a nice dust-wrapper.
Sinopsis
Lord Dunsany was Edward John Moreton Drax Plunkett, the eighteenth baron of an ancient line. He hunted lions in Africa, taught English in Athens, fought in the Boer and Kaiserian wars, and was wounded in the service of his country. As senior peer of Ireland, he saw three sovereigns crowned at Westminster; part of the renaissance of Irish drama, he hobnobbed with Yeats and Synge and Lady Gregory during the great days of Dublin's Abbey Theatre. He was peer, sportsman, soldier, playwright, globe-trotter, and once chess champion of Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. He wrote more than sixty books before his death in 1957 and influenced some of the greatest writers of our time including H. P. Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, and Fritz Leiber.

Sobre Terence McVicker, Rare Books
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.
