A collector could find most of the titles in this line for sale on eBay and Amazon, but I myself never see these HPL Ballantine books on used bookstore shelves. I think that an obsessive would be able to, after some hard and dedicated work, amass every Ballantine Adult Fantasy volume, perhaps even in mint condition, but that way madness lies...

Cool collection Will! I've seen all of these except for The Survivor-which I really need to search for -so amazing! I have that vers of The Dream Quest of Unknwn Kaddath, although I've never finished it. I'm not a big fantasy fan, more into horror. I just got it for the cool cover.
I need to get myself some Lovecrafts and stat. Been meaning to anyway.
I read a lot of HPL's fantasy when I first started reading him, but I've never reread it. I'm a Cthulhu Mythos guy. But as a series these covers are über-collectible!
I never knew this boxed collection existed. I don't suppose they ever re-issued it as a 6-book set with The Spawn of Cthulhu & Lovecraft: a Look Behind the Cthulhu Mythos (all Gallardo covers)?
