37 #856 contains Walpoles "Castle of Ontrante" and William Beckford's "Vathek". Also published in Everyman's is Sir Thomas More's "Utopia". I suggest your readers write to E. P. Dutton Co. for a catalog. For those who frequent second hand books stores, I suggest looking for a set of books published by Review of Reviews called "The Lock and Key Library". They contain many titles mentioned in Lovecraft's "The Outsider". I recently finished my collection of Algernon Blackwood works (25 volumes.) Other books I picked up are: "Odd John", "Last and First Men", "Last Men in London", all three by Olaf Stapledon. "Maker of Moons" by Robert W. Chambers. "Weiland" by Charles Brickden Brown. "Vampires -- their Kith and Kin"; "Vampires" and "Geography of Witchcraft" all by Montague Summers. "Examen of Witches" (a rare book indeed) by Bouget. "Ghost Stories of an Antiquary" and "More Ghost Stories of an Antiquary" by M. R. James. "Letters on Demonology & Witchcraft" by Sir Walter Scott (first Edition 1830). This latter book, believe it or not, I purchased for $1.00 in perfect condition, although rebound. The list could go on for pages! For those readers interested in the supernatural, there is a new book to be published in the next month or so, called "The Unobstructed Universe" by Stewart Edward White, published by E. P. Dutton Co. Macmillan & Co. have recently reprinted in a beautiful edition of Sir Jame G. Fraser's "The Golden Bough" for the price of $1.50. About two weeks ago, I happened to be in a secondhand book store of Fourth Avenue, here in New York, and had quite a legendary conversation with the proprietor, who is a fantasy fan himself. He told
