[MANUSCRIPT / GALLEYS]. LONG, Frank Belknap (1901-1994). Typescripts, Galleys, Other Materials for "Howard Phillips Lovecraft: Dreamer on the Nightside". Sauk City, WI: Arkham House, [ca. 1975]. Two typescripts (one typed, the other, apparently a later computer print-out - 279 and 185 pp., respectively, both with notes and corrections by editors James Turner or Roderick Meng, the typed script with corrections by Long), a photocopied copy of a typed manuscript (279 pp.), Master page proofs, Final Page-Proofs, "Uncorrected" page-proofs (all loose pages, 236 pp.), long galley proofs (70 pp. with notes), and file copies of three letters to editor James Turner on green paper from the typesetter.

Long was a longtime friend of Lovecraft's, and wrote this highly-regarded biography. "Of all Lovecraft's chroniclers, the one who probably knew him best was Frank Belknap Long. Long's affectionate 'portrait of HPL' includes a wealth of anecdotal material and reconstructed conversations with Lovecraft, but it makes no pretense at formal biography." (Barron, Horror Literature 8-63).

Condition

The usual wear, creasing, soiling that one would expect from working production materials. Fine.
