Mr. P., I didn't know you were an artist too--are your illustrations available for viewing on the web somewhere?

I have no talent for illustrations and do not draw at all. Ye book's art is by John Coulthart, ye magnificent British artist who was born on H. P. Lovecraft's death-day--15 March 1962.

Yet the original posting seemed to say otherwise. What of the endpaper drawing of R'lyeh? Apparently, the publisher thought it was good enough to put on the book's endpaper. Let's face it, Mr. P., when you are Lovecraftian, your passion for HPL causes you to sprout tentacles of creativity every which way. Just kidding.

I can't see how it did. It says "with illustrations by John Coulthart" and goes on to quote "ye artist", which can be no other than aforementioned John Coulthart.

I think I skimmed your posting too quickly, and got the impression that you had drawn a couple of the illustrations. Nevertheless, with the passion for HPL that you have, you probably could concoct something that reeked of Lovecraftian weirdness!

The book is now available at Amazon, where I have also supply'd a wee review. It's strange, how captivating I find the outward appearance of this book. As it sits beside me on my writing table, my eyes keep wanting to slide to peek at it so that my soul may once again marvel at its exquisite beauty, its design & illustrations. I love this book, and I think it wou'd be a fine edition of Lovecraft to give to any friend who has never read him.
