P. Lovecraft<\/em> is billed as&#8230; &#8220;each essay [annotated] thoroughly to explain obscure references and to correct errors&#8221; and thus the volume is a shelf companion to slip in beside the elegant 1998 hardback <em>Lovecraft Remembered<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Ave atque Vale<\/em> sports a fine cover photo, though the typography laid on top is excruciating. For such an important book I would have been happy to spend an hour fixing the yellow colour-cast, lightly colorising the photograph, and doing something more elegant with better type.<\/p>\n<p>S.T. also mentions that he has been at work adding the Index to a forthcoming <em>Letters with Donald and Howard Wandrei and to Emil Petaja<\/em> volume, and that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;we have the [Lovecraft] <em>Letters to Family and Family Friends<\/em> (1200 pp.!) ready to go&#8221;.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Wow&#8230; that&#8217;ll be &#8216;the aunts&#8217; letters in print in full, at last!
