‎Tales from the Drones Club [First UK Edition]. ales from the Drones Club [First UK Edition].‎

‎8vo., First UK Edition; terracotta cloth, gilt back, a near fine copy in unclipped dustwrapper. Published a year after the US edition. With dustwrapper artwork by David Pether (the US dustwrapper was illustrated by Jeff Fisher). Collects 21 short stories; the collection was later reissued as 'The Drones Omnibus' in 1991. The stories were first published as follows: eight in Young Men in Spats (1936); one in Lord Emsworth and Others (1937), four in Eggs Beans & Crumpets (1940), two in Nothing Serious (1950), four in A Few Quick Ones (1959) and two in Plum Pie (1966). This edition is already elusive, especially in this condition.‎

‎Wright, Farnsworth & Long, Frank Belknap ( Weird Tales )‎

‎A MOST HISTORIC TYPED LETTER SIGNED dated March 28th 1924 to Frank Belnap long‎

‎TYPED LETTER SIGNED dated March 28th 1924 on RURAL PUBLISHING CORP. stationery to author and famous member of the Lovecraftian Circle Frank Belknap Long about 375 words stating that Long's story THE DESERT LICH has unfortuantely been delayed as it was decided that one man namely Edust-wrapper in Baird could not possibly have the time to be editor for WEIRD TALES DETECTIVE TALES and their new venture GHOST STORIES and thus he "will assume the editorial helm of WEIRD TALES & GHOST STORIES" that he has "read several thousand manuscripts when he was a reader for Baird and that he knows the thrill that comes of discovering a distinctively written story" that he "wishes to use DESERT LICH Long's accepted tale in the combination summer issue for June July & August which we are making triple size and putting out to clear the deck for the issuance of GHOST STORIES" "that their rates are not yet as high he would like them to be and that by summer he hopes we can pay on a pay on acceptance basis" and that "Our rates at present are one cent a word". He finishes with these plaudits for Lovecraft: "Please thank Mr. Lovecraft for me for turning THE DESET LlICH our way. And I want to thank you also for telling me of other Lovecraft stories that I have not yet seen. I would as soon think of changing a line or a word or a title of Mr. Lovecrat's work as I would rewriting an Edgar Allen Poe story. He is to my way of thinking the supreme master of weird tales whose mastery is not accidental but the result of careful and directed thought. So far I have seen Mr. Lovecraft's works only in print for I have not had the thrill of reading them in manuscript. I have not even read HYPNOS but I am looking forward to reading the page proofs of the May Weird Tales which contains the story. But those that I have read in the magazine-----THE HOUND THE RATS IN THE WALL DAGON----are marvels of writercraft." Letters from Wright the acknowledged foremost editor of Weird Tales are notoriously scarce and I know of none earlier. They rarely surface on the market place. Indeed letters with a full strong signature of Wright are rarer still as he was virtually unable to sign anything due to Parkinsons disease by 1930. So here's your chance to snatch a piece of history from one major player in the Golden Age of Science Fiction and Weird Tales specifically to another. The earliest letter I have seen by Farnsworth Wright. N.p. unknown‎
