The House of Souls

Arthur Machen · E. Grant Richards, London · 1906

No book-club issue is documented for the 1906 Grant Richards edition. The principal traps are the 1922 Knopf American edition (different, shorter contents), a later Grant Richards reissue dated 1923 that is offered by some sellers under the 1906 description, and the Tartarus Press hardcover reissues (North Yorkshire, first and second printings, 427 pp.), which reuse Sime's frontispiece and board designs and can be mistaken for the period book — the Tartarus volumes are modern reprints. Grant Richards printed no edition statement, so identification depends on the 1906 title page, the Sime pictorial grey cloth, and the spine imprint form.
