Notes

Contains a First Appearance

In 2002, the then-owners of the rights to Robert E. Howard's works decided to publish a series of three books in order to extend the U.S. copyrights of the unpublished material. Otherwise all this unpublished material would have been public domain in the U.S. after 12/31/2006.

Three books were published - A RHYME OF SALEM TOWN AND OTHER POEMS,  DEAR HPL (Howard's letters to Lovecraft), and DEAR AUGUST (Howard's letters to August Derleth).  10 copies of each book were to be prepared by Glenn Lord, but fewer than 10 were eventually produced, maybe as few as 6 copies of each.

DEAR HPL only contains 45 of the original 53 letters to HPL, so some still remain unpublished.

Several pages have words cut off at the right or bottom.

The Library of Congress has copies of DEAR AUGUST and DEAR HPL, they had them hardbound, no jacket.

The following stories and poems are contained in the letters:

"A Dream"

"Reuben's Brethren" (poem)

"The Grim Land" (poem)

"Arkham" (poem)

Untitled ("They were there, in the distance dreaming")(poem)

Untitled ("Under the grim San Saba hills") (poem)
