The Tales Of Edgar Allan Poe
Illustrated by Fritz Eichenberg
©1944 Random House
CAB Comment––It’s always wonderful to have some old Poe books around on a coffee or end table, not only for conversation, inspiration, or nostalgic atmosphere, but also for simply reading a macabre tale on a dark and stormy night. This 1944 edition shows some great scars and has a slipcase too––hard to find this particular book with a slipcase still intact. But what truly makes this edition great are the wonderful wood engravings by Fritz Eichenberg. Also included is a wonderful introduction by famed Poe biographer Hervey Allen (“Israfel: The Life And Times of Edgar Allan Poe” ©1926). A big book that is a very readable copy.

BOOK PHOTOS: All book pictures are taken in bright white LED photo light, and thus brightness, contrast, and colors of books may appear more intense in photos than in person in the warmer incandescent lamp light of your home. In simpler terms, your new vintage books will fit right in with your cozy abode.
Please remember: All books offered by Texas POEtrope are in need of a loving new home, and (other than C.A. Broadstone autographed works) have had previous owners, resulting in relative wear. Thus, some books possess more interesting scars telling of their journey through the world, and life, than others. Please study book pictures closely to be sure the book(s) shown are for you. Every book with a dust jacket has been carefully placed in a BroDart protective archival cover. All sales are final.
