Hey /lit/. Looking to get this, as it seems to be the most complete collection of Lovecraft's works. However, reviews I read for it say it is plagued with many, many typos and poor editing. I can deal with that, unless someone can recommend a collection of equal completion?

The most recent edition of the book has fixed all errors. You were reading old reviews. So this is the most complete collection. Take that as you will, it's actually packed with stuff you do not want to read and will cringe through if you decide you want to.

The Barnes and Noble books are a rough call. I've never noticed any big editing flaws like typos, but the pages are like Norton anthology quality. Like tissues. Typesetting can be rough too. Flip through it before buying. I don't have the Lovecraft one. The three Penguin books make a nice alternative. Though you'll be paying a little more if buying new.

>>	Anonymous Tue Nov 1 21:48:22 2011 No.2172995 >>2172992 And by Penguin ones, I mean: The Call of Cthulhu, and Other Stories The Thing on the Doorstep, and Other Stories The Dreams in the Witch House, and Other Stories Those three make up all Lovecraft's short story work.
