Absolutely disgusting
The book was extremely damaged upon opening the package. As you can see from the pictures, the whole back of the book is coming of. Half of the books pages have a huge dent on them. Saddened and disappointed.
Beautiful.
The cover is beautiful. The image has a metallic sheen. It's such a beautiful book. I'm proud to have it on my shelf. And the price was amazing too. I got it for like $12. And it has The Rats in the Walls, which was necessary.
H.P. Lovecraft Tales of Horror and Other Errors
Beware, the H.P. Lovecraft Tales of Horror (Leather-bound Classics) edition that is listed under the hardcover options for The Complete Fiction is NOT the same book. I learned that the hard way. Not many of these different "editions" of the book are actually the same book. If it has a different title then steer clear. Amazon is messing up.
Wonderful Presentation of the HPL Dimensions
I will pass on giving the book specs since they have been listed by others, as well as on the Amazon book page. This edition: "Tales of Horror," is a beautiful and well-bound hardcover/leather book. I took the accompanying photos using a desk lamp for light and don't do justice to seeing the book in person. This is not a complete set of HPL works. If you are a reader of Lovecraft, you probably have other books containing his many writings. If so, you will find this to be an eye-catching and treasured addition to your shelf. If you are new to Lovecraft, you will find this to not only be an excellent introduction but a worthy collection of his stories. Twenty-seven stories, including several of his most famous titles, can be seen in the TOC photo. The book has an informative introduction as well. The text on the page's tone/color shade is easy on the eyes. That is a good thing considering the book carries 752 pages of solid reading. Canterbury Classics has produced a quality book, both in terms of print production and in terms of content. A good buy at retail price and an even better deal at a discount.
Not complete but really well done
Doesn't have every single story by Lovecraft but the cover is really well done and beautiful. There's a sticker at the back of it for the pricetag. Mine came off very easily but I imagine it can ruin some books if you get unlucky and get one that's really stuck on there. Other than that, it's a great purchase. Probably jumpstarted a whole new collection for my empty shelf.
Phenomenal Quality!!
This collection of stories is perfect. I have bought 19 of the Canterbury Classic Leather Bound books. THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL! The quality is incomparable. The acid free paper. The gold gilded page edges are lovely to look at, and a joy to turn. They all have a built in ribbon bookmark. 2018. My resolution was to start my home library; compiling the classics first. And, these are must have classics for anyone who genuinely loves books.
Very epic and Old school Horror
First I gave this 4 Stars, Beautifull book, I am glad to have it, Just it's not a Complete Tales book. There are stories Missing like the Unnamable, Otherwise great Price, and I am glad to have this with my collection of Books. Right up there with Edgar Allen Poe (pictured) also a Book I would suggest, and Stephen King. I will be getting the other HP Lovecraft Hardcover book I saw here when I can.
H.P. Lovecraft
What a mind for horror, even Steven Kings thought H.P. Lovecraft was someone to respect within the whelm of Tales of Horror. Lovecraft's book of "Tales of Horror" does bordering of pure genius and a mind that looses itself in the strange and supernatural. Though his sentence structure lacks coherence, his stores are not effected by this lack of education, but on the whole, rewarding to peruse and experience.
Quality without heavy price! Excellent collection of popular Lovecraft stories!
I saw this at Barnes and Noble for $25, got it for $10 from Amazon. Great price and great quality. Added to my collection. Gold lined pages, red braided (different from the books from same press) ribbon bookmark, accents on the front and back of the book makes it have a nice shine when caught in light. The paper does feel a bit thin and the font isn't boldfaced so it might be a bit hard to read for some but it was fine for me. The book feels nice and heavy in your hands. There is metallic accents on the front/back of the book and the overall look is of great quality for the price paid. Read a few stories already and they're great!
Great buy!
I've been wanting to purchase a lot of classic books and I was really excited to see how this turned out when I ordered it. The hardcover is durable and the cover illustration is awesome
