Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This "Knickerbocker Classics" edition of Lovecraft's (more or less) Complete Fiction is actually an apparently licensed dupe of the contents of the infamous, typo-riddled Barnes and Noble edition (complete with the same font), namely the second "corrected" edition that fixes most of the typos, but introduces a few new ones of its own. The B&N edition has more material, but this edition features an introduction by Eric Carl Link, not S.T. Joshi (Joshi's introductory notes for each story have also been excised). I have checked the text against some of both the typos found in the original B&N edition by Martin Andersson, and the typos in the second "corrected" printing found by myself and another dedicated reader who scoured the B&N "corrected" version for further errors. This new edition issued by Knickerbocker Classics features corrections to some of the additional typos found in the "corrected" second B&N printing, but not all of them (it seems whoever did the corrections for this Knickerbocker volume googled our proofing work and then made the corrections... but stopped at a certain point). I haven't actually read the entire volume yet, so it may have its own special "surprises" lurking, but it seems be a very fine volume in tandem with the corrected second B&N printing, with a few less typos, albeit this one features none of the "Juvenilia" or other bonuses in the B&N volume, and is slightly less visually beautiful compared the Leatherbound edition. It does, however, come with a nice slipcover, and is quite heavy and sturdy. These are the typos I've verified so far that are ported over to this volume, left uncorrected from the last B&N volume (please note that the typos are on the left, bordered by hyphens since Amazon doesn't allow formatting, with the correct version on the right): 202.11: sins like Ptolemaism, Calvinism, -anti-Darwinisn-,] sins like Ptolemaism, Calvinism, -anti-Darwinism-, 456.34: The next day they -spoke with- a ship with violet sails] The next day they -spoke- a ship with violet sails 902.11: I made no -progess-.] I made no -progress-. 994.1 I had seen him -one- or twice in my youth ] I had seen him -once- or twice in my youth The contents don't seem to be listed anywhere, so I'll transcribe from the table of contents: CONTENTS: - "Introduction" [by Eric Carl Link] - The Beast in the Cave - The Alchemist - The Tomb - Dagon - A Reminiscence of Dr. Samuel Johnson - Polaris - Beyond the Wall of Sleep - Memory - Old Bugs - The Transition of Juan Romero - The White Ship - The Street - The Doom That Came to Sarnath - The Statement of Randolph Carter - The Terrible Old Man - The Cats of Ulthar - The Tree - Celephaïs - The Picture in the House - The Temple - Facts Concerning the Late Arthur Jermyn and His Family - From Beyond - Nyarlathotep - The Quest of Iranon - The Music of Erich Zahn - Ex Oblivione - Sweet Ermengarde - The Nameless City - The Outsider - The Moon-Bog - The Other Gods - Azathoth - Herbert West-Reanimator - Hypnos - What the Moon Brings - The Hound - The Lurking Fear - The Rats in the Walls - The Unnamable - The Festival - Under the Pyramids - The Shunned House - The Horror at Red Hook - He - In the Vault - Cool Air - The Call of Cthulhu - Pickman's Model - The Strange High House in the Mist - The Silver Key - The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath - The Case of Charles Dexter Ward - The Colour Out of Space - The Descendant - The Very Old Folk - History of the Necronomicon - The Dunwich Horror - Ibid - The Whisperer in Darkness - At the Mountains of Madness - The Shadow Over Innsmouth - The Dreams in the Witch House - Through the Gates of the Silver Key - The Thing on the Doorstep - The Evil Clergyman - The Book - The Shadow Out of Time - The Haunter of the Dark - "The Life and Times of H.P.
