Peter Reynolds Behind the Evidence
<B>Peter Reynolds Amelia Reynolds Long and William Crawford :<I> Behind the Evidence.</B></I></B></I> (Everett: Visionary Publishing Company, 1936), first edition, 238 pages, jacket by Clay Ferguson, black cloth with silver titles, 12mo (5.25" x 7.25"), fine (by Visionary Publishing standards) in an ultra-rare unclipped jacket. The finish on both the book and jacket are rather crude as was usual with Visionary. The page edges are roughly cut and there is some ink bleed to the rear panel of the dust jacket. It is thought that only 100 copies were ever printed (only 37 correctly) and of these only about half were ever hardbound. Chalker indicates that only 15 were sold with the remaining copies taken by the author. Only nine original dust jackets are known. Color copies of this jacket are known to exist but the copy at hand appears to have an original jacket. Of note is the fact that this book and H.P. Lovecraft's book <I>The Shadow Over Innsmouth</B></I> were bound at the same time using the same typography and binding types. <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>)
