Arkham Collector #9

Arkham House THE ARKHAM COLLECTOR Number Nine Spring 1971 Limited Edition (Approx. 2500 copies)
The Arkham Collector was a small periodical published by Arkham House starting in 1967. Each issue contained announcements of upcoming books, news clips, essays, poems, story segments, and much more. As such, they offer a fascinating historical insight to Arkham House and their work. Of note, is H.P. Lovecraft always plays a central role (as with the publisher). Some of the more interesting essays on Lovecraft, first appeared in the Collector. It was treated as advertising, and as such, issues were often thrown away, so even with a circulation of around 2500, copies are hard to come by. Remainder issues of The Collector were bound and sold in book form, again decreasing the number of individual issues.
This is issue number nine of The Arkham Collector, published in the Spring of 1971 at 50 cents a copy. 44 pages. Contents Include:
Two New Spring Books

According to Leon Nielsen in his invaluable reference book Arkham House Books: A Collector's Guide the value of this Collector is listed at $30.00. It is worth the price alone for Lovecraft's description of Nyarlathotep and Lumley's short story.

Bibliographical
The publications measures 5.25" x 7.75". Arkham House, Sauk City, Wisconsin. Nice condition, no writing or tears, just yellowing due to age, toning close to spine, and perhaps a wee bit of shelf wear. According to Leon Nielsen in his invaluable reference book Arkham House Books: A Collector's Guide the value of this Collector is listed at $30.00. We list this one higher, because of the over abundance of Lovecraft material. As such, it is (for us) second only in rarity to issue #1.
