The Dunwich Horror by H.P. Lovecraft       Bart House #12      1945       $90  SOLD to TupennyConan

Lovecraft's second mass market paperback and very hard to find in any condition. This is the best I've had to sell.

Fine Plus/VF Minus.  Brilliant colors. Square and tight, pages bright and supple. The unfaded spine is very difficult to find. A couple small, faint creases to the corners.
