By S.T. Joshi and David E. Schultz
Back Cover Text
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 fifth revised edition
provides comprehensive information on 1129 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 and David E. Schultz have 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, fourty-four new titles have been added to the list of books
owned by Lovecraft, and additional information has been supplied on all titles listed.
