Lovecraft - Gerry de la Ree Facsimile Dust Jacket ONLY!","description":"\u003cp\u003eGerry de la Ree 1974. Vintage facsimile dust jacket in excellent, like new condition. The jacket is folded at the rear hinge and both front and rear flaps. Would make for an excellent replacement to any jacket-less first printings of The Outsider and Others and without the modern \"Facsimile Dust Jacket LLC\" marker - OR - a very collectible piece of Lovecraftian ephemera that illuminates the history of Arkham House, August Derleth's role as publisher, and Gerry de la Ree's place in the Lovecraftian tradition. A very collectible piece in otherwise excellent condition!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003cspan\u003eAccording to Lloyd Currey, Arkham House often supplied replacement dustjackets of their books on request (in fact most major publishing houses still supply fresh jackets for their current hardcover editions on request to new bookstores to assist in book sales). Mr. de la Ree had contacted August Derleth about replacement jackets for The Outsider, but Derleth replied that there had never been extra jackets for that title. The facsimile that de la Ree produced to fill this gap was made from an excellent photographic reproduction of an original but is ever so slightly out of focus in some areas. Since it was not printed from the original plates it was not a second state jacket, though it is sometimes mistakenly referred to as such. It was, however, of a very high quality and to this day often fools even knowledgeable dealers.\" - Dan Gregory, Antiquarian Booksellers' Association of America\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"assoc\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ilab.org\/association\/antiquarian-booksellers-association-of-america\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lovecraft, H.P.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45677883064455,"sku":null,"price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/3652\/6215\/files\/IMG_2515.heic?v=1787607048","url":"https:\/\/bookdudebooks.com\/products\/the-outsider-and-others-by-h-p-lovecraft-gerry-de-la-ree-facsimile-dust-jacket-only","provider":"Book Dude Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
