<B>1964 Arkham House Pamphlet: <I>AH 1939-1964: 25th Anniversary</B></I>.</B></I> (Sauk City: Arkham House, 1964), first edition, 12 pages, staple-bound in wrappers, 24mo (4" x 5.5"). Arkham House gifted this small pamphlet exclusively to their subscribers as a celebration of their 25th year in publishing, probably eons longer than most publishers thought Arkham would last. It contains a short history of Arkham House, as well as a chronological listing of all their published works up to 1964, followed by a listing of upcoming Arkham House releases. Also included is a listing of past and future releases from Arkham's two imprints, Mycroft & Moran and Stanton & Lee. The back cover has a quote from Algernon Blackwood, a legend of macabre fiction, to Arkham House, in which he says, "I congratulate you heartily on the achievement of Arkham House". This pamphlet is in fine condition, with no noticeable flaws present. A beautiful copy of this rare item. <I>From the Ventura Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Books & Catalogs (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
