It wou'd be so cool if Les uses two or three of ye Clark Ashton Smith illustrations for "The Lurking Fear," and I shall suggest that to him. And it delights, but does not surprise me, to know that Lovecraft's growing world-wide popularity is resulting in more and more readers discovering him, readers who are willing to spend a hefty amount on a huge hardcover book. I return to the first volume continually, and love it more and more. I remember when Les came to Seattle for an event shared with S. T. at ye University Book Store when NEW ANNOTATED H. P. LOVECRAFT was first publish'd, and as, after ye event, we stroll'd to an Indian restaurant I exclaim'd that Les cou'd now begin work on a second volume, and he said quite bluntly, "No, there's not enough good material," or some such sentiment. Happily, ye huge financial success of the first volume has alter'd his opinion! It's a slight torment, knowing how long we must wait for this new volume--but we will have that huge rad edition of YE ANNOTATED FUNGI FROM YUGGOTH this year.
