potentially the best HPL book ever!!!

ok, this seems almost too good to be true...

apparently, there's a brand new H.P. Lovecraft collection that must contain damn near all his stories because it comes in at just over 1,000 pages. not only that, but amazon lists it as a hardcover leatherbound edition. and the best part is it priced dirt cheap. $25 !!! that's what i paid for two pizzas delivered last night + tip. :o

the logical areas of my mind are extremely skeptical because, like i said, it sounds too good to be true. regardless, i'm ordering one and will post my findings once i receive it. this collection, Necronomicon, is dated for release Feb 28th, 2008.

i've also scoured the net for some kind of review or extra information on this commemorative edition, but i found nothing. anyone have more to add?

if you don't have $25, then acquiring this book is probably the least of your worries.

Yes, he was delicious. As for this book I have my doubts. $25 is to cheap for a commorative edition, none the less a leather bound one. I'm betting it's gonna be cheap faux leather with shitty paper. But I hope I'm wrong! We'll see once it ships.
