Be Certain you Get the 2011 Corrected Edition with its Purple book ribbon!!!
By Wilum Hopfrog Pugmire, Esq.
This is a great collection that contains every single story that H. P. Lovecraft wrote by himself. Each story has a wee note by esteemed editor, S. T. Joshi, concerning the story. The first edition, which sold for $12.95, was riddled with hundreds of typographical errors; you can tell if you have that edition because it has a gold book ribbon and gold gilt on the edge of its pages. The 2011 edition has almost all of the typos corrected; it has a purple book ribbon and silver gilt on its pages, and that is the edition you want. The problem with ordering the book here at Amazon is that you have no idea what edition they will send you as you cannot inspect the book yourself. But it is a great book, and includes rare items such as "A History of the Necronomicon," plus it has lovely end papers and a sewn-in book ribbon. Here are the complete contents:

Discarded draft of "The Shadow over Innsmouth"
Supernatural Horror in Literature
One of the outstanding features here seen is that the tales are published in chronological order, as it is interesting to see what things came first, what inspired other stories, &c. Here we find the stories that Lovecraft wrote during his two-year exile in New York ("Under the Pyramids" was written just before his marriage, and the MS was lost at the train station, and so he had to retype the MS during his honeymoon) and then we see the surge of amazing creativity that Lovecraft experienced upon returning home to Providence, a time during which he penned "The Call of Cthulhu" and his two (unpublished during his lifetime) novels.
The long version of the early tale "The Mysterious Ship" appears in print for the first time anywhere.
Writes Joshi, "The discarded draft of 'The Shadow over Innsmouth' is found on the back of the extant manuscript of the final draft of the story, and individual pages of it have apparently been incorporated into the finished story. It has several points of interest, including the narrator's visit to the Marsh retail office--a scene excised from the final draft."
The book ends with Lovecraft's magnificent essay, SUPERNATURAL HORROR IN LITERATURE.
Once the fully corrected text edition is published at the end of 2011, this edition of H. P. Lovecraft's solo Works will be THE definitive edition of all of those tales that he wrote on his own (and his collaboration with E. Hoffmann Price).
Later this year Arcane Wisdom Press will bring forth the first of two volumes of Lovecraft's revisions and collaborations, THE CRAWLING CHAOS AND OTHERS, edited and annotated by S. T. Joshi, and once the second of those volumes is published we will have all of Lovecraft's fiction available. It's a sweet time to be a Lovecraft fan, aye.

A slightly more typo-free reprint of the Barnes & Noble "Complete Fiction", minus the Joshi notes
By M. K. R.
This "Knickerbocker Classics" edition of Lovecraft's (more or less) Complete Fiction is actually an apparently licensed dupe of the contents of the infamous, typo-riddled Barnes and Noble edition (complete with the same font), namely the second "corrected" edition that fixes most of the typos, but introduces a few new ones of its own. The B&N edition has more material, but this edition features an introduction by Eric Carl Link, not S.T. Joshi (Joshi's introductory notes for each story have also been excised). I have checked the text against some of both the typos found in the original B&N edition by Martin Andersson, and the typos in the second "corrected" printing found by myself and another dedicated reader who scoured the B&N "corrected" version for further errors. This new edition issued by Knickerbocker Classics features corrections to some of the additional typos found in the "corrected" second B&N printing, but not all of them (it seems whoever did the corrections for this Knickerbocker volume googled our proofing work and then made the corrections... but stopped at a certain point). I haven't actually read the entire volume yet, so it may have its own special "surprises" lurking, but it seems be a very fine volume in tandem with the corrected second B&N printing, with a few less typos, albeit this one features none of the "Juvenilia" or other bonuses in the B&N volume, and is slightly less visually beautiful compared the Leatherbound edition. It does, however, come with a nice slipcover, and is quite heavy and sturdy.
These are the typos I've verified so far that are ported over to this volume, left uncorrected from the last B&N volume (please note that the typos are on the left, bordered by hyphens since Amazon doesn't allow formatting, with the correct version on the right):
202.11: sins like Ptolemaism, Calvinism, -anti-Darwinisn-,] sins like Ptolemaism, Calvinism, -anti-Darwinism-,
456.34: The next day they -spoke with- a ship with violet sails] The next day they -spoke- a ship with violet sails
902.11: I made no -progess-.] I made no -progress-.
994.1 I had seen him -one- or twice in my youth ] I had seen him -once- or twice in my youth
The contents don't seem to be listed anywhere, so I'll transcribe from the table of contents:

The best "complete," one-volume, Lovecraft out there.
By Noncomposmentes
I own both the first and second B&N Complete Lovecraft editions and this is, far and away, the best of them all. I won't go into the typos that appear in both the B&N editions and this one (that's already been covered by another reviewer) but I will talk about the books themselves.
The 2008 B&N edition is rather plain and underwhelming, with basic black boards, plain purple end-papers and a rather unattractive dust-jacket. But, at the time, it was the only book that collected all (or almost all, at any rate) of Lovecraft's fiction in one volume. Plus, it was only $12.95.
The 2011 B&N reprint is a much spiffier affair. Bound in faux leather -- which, despite feeling kind of cheap-ish is still very nice -- with silver gilt edging, a satin bookmark and very cool marbled end-papers, it's definitely a step-up from the 2008 edition. I'm not personally thrilled with the design of the cover, but that's just my opinion. It sells for $18.00.
This Knickerbocker Classics edition blows them all away. The slipcase, which boasts a very well-done Cthulhu illustration, is thick and remarkably sturdy. The text on the front of the slipcase is embossed and the Cthulhu illustration is printed in silver, metallic ink. It makes for a very impressive presentation. A minor annoyance is a paper describing the book is glued to the back of the slipcase. I tried to carefully and slowly remove it and some of the paper of the slipcase began to come away with it so I guess it stays. It would be nice, however, if it were easily removed if desired. Unlike the two B&N editions which have glued bindings, this edition has a stitched binding which should hold up better over time. The cloth-bound covers are very impressive in blue and metallic silver, and there is a silver satin bookmark. The end-papers are light grey with a scale-like design, nice, but not nearly as nice as the end-papers on the 2011 B&N edition.
The paper is of a very similar stock on all three editions and is certainly on the thin side; there is a fair amount of text-bleed through the pages. But all three books in question are nearly 1100 pages so thin paper is a bit of a necessity to keep the weight and size at manageable levels.
Overall, this edition is the far superior one. The first B&N edition has cheap written all over it, plus there are the hundreds of typos to contend with. The second B&N edition is decent but the faux leather and somewhat ugly cover design doesn't do it any favors, and it ends up looking and feeling like a book that's trying to be a lot more than what it actually is. The Knickerbocker edition looks and feels elegant. It's really quite beautiful and if it cost twice what it actually does it would still certainly be worth it. A very, very nice book.
