Oh flubbin’ ‘eck, now even the paperbacks are going limited-edition. S.T. Joshi’s edited collection The Ghost of Fear and Others: H. P. Lovecraft’s Favorite Horror Stories is available as a… “100 signed and numbered trade paperback edition”. The book was last spotted on Tentaclii when it came out as a limited-edition hardback.
Thankfully all the contents are online for free, to anyone who cares to spend literally five minutes looking for them — albeit without Joshi’s fine textual polishings etc, and with “House of Sounds” being only the earlier version…

It’s odd that the first version of The Mool Pool isn’t on the contents list. Lovecraft placed it in his all time top ten of weird stories: http://gaslight.mtroyal.ca/moonpool.htm
