  6. I'm sorry, I wasn't clear. The image you posted from the WC website was the one that sold at WC. What I meant was that the Heritage copy was not the one that sold at WC.
  7. Now that 2024 is here, it's time to start thinking about this year's Windy City Pulp and Paper Convention (April 5-7, 2024 at the Westin Lombard Yorktown Center in Lombard, IL).

Lovecraft items, including a typescript leaf for "The Shadow Over Innsmouth" and the 1937 publication, "HPL," which was limited to 25 copies - Numerous Robert E. Howard, including the rare "The Hyborean Age" - Rare items by Clark Ashton Smith, including "Odes and Sonnets” - A carbon typescript for Donald Wandrei's "The Sea Change", published in Weird Tales, May 1933, as "Spawn of the Sea" - And much more! The complete auction catalog, along with images, is now available on our website: www.windycitypulpandpaper.com More details will be posted on our Facebook page -- search FB for Windy City Pulp and Paper or go to: https://www.facebook.com/windycitypulp/ The website also has details on absentee bidding, for those who can’t make it to the convention. But the auctions aren’t our only highlight! Friday through Sunday, our massive dealer room will be buzzing, bursting with 180 six foot long tables, with roughly 100 dealers from the U.S., Canada, U.K. and Switzerland displaying pulps, vintage paperbacks, science fiction, fantasy & mystery hardcovers, golden and silver age comics, original illustration art, movie memorabilia and more! Our art show will feature a great display of art from the hero pulps, such as The Shadow and Doc Savage. As usual, our film programming, curated by Ed Hulse, will run Friday and Saturday, showing movies and serials based on pulp stories. Our evening programming will include presentations on the hero pulps. And Sunday morning will see New Pulp Sunday, programming devoted to the vibrant and colorful world of New Pulp organized by Ron Fortier of Airship 27 Productions. And all attendees will get a copy of our fabulous convention book, put out by Tom Roberts of Black Dog Books. We hope you’ll join us for the fun and excitement at this year’s Windy City Pulp and Paper Convention! For more info, contact Doug Ellis at pulpvault@msn.com.
