Newly arrived on Amazon, the revised paperback of A Look Behind the Derleth Mythos: Origins of the Cthulhu Mythos
dropping much of the academic apparatus he had in the hardback version — page numbers for quotes in the text and all that needless crap
So I suppose the first edition is still the one that scholars will want, errors and all, since at least it has the “needless crap” that means that all the quotes can actually be tracked back to a source page. Do any readers know if Haefele ever issued erratum pages for his first edition?
I’m not aware of Haefele ever offering an errata sheet, though admittedly I haven’t looked for it either. I bought the hardback, which I think made some solid points but took an unnecessarily combative tone towards Joshi & co. and failed to offer any real support for its wilder and woolier claims; I would have been much happier if Haefele, who is pretty much the Derleth scholar, had taken a more objective approach.
