Not precisely fine press, but reproducing fine press and containing some letterpress material as well. It's a special edition of HPL's The Shunned House.

Limitation of 500, just shy of goal with a few days left.

Thanks for the heads up. I backed it at the chapbook level. Looks like good quality for a very reasonable price.

>2 ultrarightist: Certainly, and I agree that the chapbook is a good bargain. I'm looking at picking up the others in the series from here: https://store.hplhs.org/collections/books/products/miskatonic-literary-society-s...

Even though they are offset printed, they are produced by book artisans and are appealing to me for their contents and illustrations.

Received the first three of the Miskatonic Literary Society chapbooks. Quite pleased with them, they are a good size and nicely illustrated. Apologies once again for the subpar photos, I am a pretty decent SLR photographer but struggle to get the cellphone camera to work well.

Oh, and the chapbook of The Yellow Wallpaper comes with an actual scrap of said wallpaper. Nice!

>4 Shadekeep: Nice. Did you have to join the society in order to purchase those or can you purchase them without joining?

>5 ultrarightist: I just signed up for the subscription at the link I previously mentioned. Basically you are buying a year's worth of releases, and the first three are out, so there will be one more coming after these. They also issued me a refund for some of the shipping, as it appears to quote the price for four shipments but it ends up being just two. No further obligation, and if they run another year it will be a new, separate subscription that you have to enroll for if you want it.

PS - Completists may want to act sooner than later, my first title was #446 out of 500. Though it's been available for a while, so may not sell out that soon. Still, figured I'd mention it.

Apparently this series is doing well enough to warrant a second year. Subscriptions are open for the next four titles, which will be:

- "The Mummy's Foot" by Théophile Gautier
- "The Tale of Satampra Zeiros" by Clark Ashton Smith
- "The Mark of the Beast" by Ruyard Kipling
- "The Novel of the White Powder" by Arthur Machen
