I found this quote, referring to a Squires chapbook of
Cats of Ulthar, at Chris Perridas' blog:
This beautiful item from Roy Squires private press is described by Roy as follows: “For no better reason than that for several years I wanted to do it, I have printed H. P. Lovecraft’s bedtime story, The cats of Ulthar. This pamphlet consists of eight pages of printed text from American Uncial types upon Gutenburg Laid paper, sewn into covers of De Wint, a paper hand made by Barcham Green. The edition is 200 numbered copies.†This hand set and tied limited edition is number 174 of 200. Printed in April and May of 1979.

There are another group of chapbooks, of Lovecraft prose poems, that look like the work of Squires here:

I am interested in the Burden of the Suns, however the printing method is not described. I saw this item on amazon as well. I am assuming it is letterpress, but am not sure. I have to say, the look of these books is quite attractive. The chapbook has a certain appeal, the best of fine press and underground zine all in one.
