According to Currey, there is no statement of printing on the copyright page of this printing, the first.

Per Sheldon Jaffery, from The Arkham House Companion, the first printing can be distinguished from the subsequent 4 by:

  • $5.00 price on dustwrapper.
  • The photograph of Lovecraft on the back measures 92 mm x 111 mm.
  • Back jacket flap lists Arkham House titles by Lovecraft.
  • No headbands at the end of the spine.
