I'll agree with Nesa on that one. It always irks me to find such errors... and I tend to be hyperaware of them. Nonetheless, the fact that Lovecraft has now been included in this series is a big step forward where recognition as a major American author is concerned, and should be recognized as such. Also, for those who are just making their acquaintance with Lovecraft... while textually precise editions would be much preferred, the ones I first read were often much, much worse (the Beagle Boxer editions of several, and the earlier Arkham edition of At the Mountains of Madness and Other Novels), and nonetheless decidedly captured my imagination and made me realize that here was something very special; with the later editions Joshi edited, I found even more to like, as I began to appreciate just how precise and meticulous HPL was... but had it not been for those earlier editions, I doubt I'd have been inclined to pick up the later (though one can never be certain)... and this is a massive amount of his work in one volume; not really all that far off from the amount available in The Outsider and Others, which still remains a very notable collection....
