I got it as a present for my Cthulhu-loving boyfriend. He adores it! I’ve read a bit and the original works are super interesting. I was not impressed with the paper quality, however. It looks and feels like printer paper, and the illustrations, while gorgeous, look slightly weird ink wise; the dark areas (and there are a lot of dark areas) have little contrast, so it feels like detail is lost. For what it’s worth, my boyfriend didn’t have any issue with it so it’s maybe just me. I also recognize printing ain’t cheap. Anyway, I highly recommend the product! Must have for any Lovecraft fan trying to expand their library.
