Deep Cuts peruses the relatively new edition of Old World Footprints (1928) by Cassie Symmes, Belknap Long’s aunt. She had been very impressed by Cook’s printing and binding for her nephew’s slim volume of poetry. So much so that she commissioned Cook to publish 300 copies of her own account of a tour of Europe. I see the book can now be had as a budget Kindle ebook, Old World Footprints [Print Replica], in the new edited and annotated edition.

The attraction for (very dedicated) Lovecraftians is that Lovecraft was ghosting for Long on the Introduction…

actually ghostwritten by H. P. Lovecraft. Lovecraft proofread the book for Cook, and may have edited it as well.
