C. M. Eddy, Jr. Musician

_____

Sorry the images are so poor, but it's the best google had to offer.

In the 1929 "Grade Teacher" above, "Thanksgiving Melody" appeared credited to Lucille K. VanScyoc and C. M. Eddy, Jr. It's the first item I've run across confirming Mr. Eddy's musical accomplishment. Google actually showed a snippet of the music.

Far out!

Fabian Art

The seller (costermangerstu) states: My award-winning WHISPERS magazine commissioned Steve Fabian to illustrate the Howard Phillips Lovecraft (Arkham House and WEIRD TALES author) DREAM QUEST OF UNKNOWN KADATH. The project saw only one color piece (cover on issue #23-24) used (the other stuff is still in our backlog. This is one of the half-pages, the blank space in the middle was to show the quotation from the story that the half-page (and the opposite full-page) illustrated. I have more of these half-pages around (and one full page).

Signed by Derleth, Lovecraft, and Asbury

The seller states (costermongerstu): Here is a Lovecraft item. It is a library copy of the 1st edition of this excellent horror anthology. OKAY, why would I list at very worn library book at $2500??? Well, the major reason is its being one of only two collections I have seen that contain a Lovecraft story and having been SIGNED by Lovecraft. The second reason is that it is the ONLY book I have ever seen containing tales by Derleth and HPL and being SIGNED by both. (I have been a very serious Lovecraft collector for over 40 years! )And, as an added extra, it is also SIGNED by its editor, Herbert Asbury! And if this book could speak, what a tale it would tell. Remember this is 1928, and it was signed by all three of these gentlemen in a nine-day journey from New York to Providence to Sauk City. HOW did it end up in a circulating library if the owner had consideredd it so important? We will never know. ANYWAY, other then the worn and torn covers, the internal pages are good-VG.
