Here's a query for you. I have read a fair bit but want to get a complete(ish) edition. Any recommendations among these?

Barnes & Noble, eye-scorcher of a cover (leather? surely leatherette?), claims to be complete:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/H-P-Lovecra...plete+lovecraft

I have this one, and as long as you have the 2011 printing pictured in your link (which has a different appearance to the first one and so is easy to spot), you're good. The original release of this one is full of typos.

Was Lovecraft misogynistic?

I would think it depends on how you frame the question. There's active misogyny, which is "upon careful consideration, I am now taking the active stance that women are worthless", and the more common sort of passive misogyny, which is "of course I don't have anything against women", followed by not really giving them any sort of consideration when it comes time to consider roles and positions in society, etc. The latter is much more common, especially in the 1930s. I wouldn't be surprised if he was the latter, but then again so were most of the people on the planet.

There was an earlier one of these, which I own. I wonder if this is a reprint, or if I can start a blasphemously batrachian library for toddlers.

Dunno, do you remember any of the pages? I posted a few, I could go dig it out of wherever my toddler stashed it and write a few more if you want.

(K is for K'N-Yan. "Is it hot down here, or am I crazy?")

Now that I'm home I can check. It's this one:

So yeah, there's (at least) two of these things. Apparently the author redid it in 2013 via kickstarter.

Interesting article on the history of Arkham House, the publishers who kept HPL's work alive after his death:

Awesome, thank you. I wonder if I can find $415,000 in my sofa cushions.

I've been reading "dreams of terror and death" and it's just a bunch of little 2-10 page stories. It's like watching a lovecraft skit show.

That was my introduction to him. I love The Quest of Iranon
