“Winners will be notified after the auction ends and once all bids have been processed to determine the winner for each lot”
Master of horror, August Derleth signed first edition of ''Colonel Markesan and Less Pleasant People.'' Collegiate Press: Menasha, WI: 1966. One of only 2,500 first edition copies, with original unclipped dustjacket. Derleth inscribes the front free endpaper in green ink, ''for Paul [?] / a book of tales 35 years old. Sincerely / August Derleth''. Book and dustjacket have been well-preserved, in fine and near fine condition respectively. Very light chipping along top edge of dustjacket only. A delightfully chilling set of short stories.
