Ghost Stories: January 1927 (Fiction House Press, 2020; originally The Constructive Publishing Corporation, 1927) What's the reproduction like on this one, Mr. H? I got the Gwandanaland edition, and it is pretty abysmal, truth to tell. He made a fair job of Horror Stories Sept. 1935 facsimile, mind.

What's the reproduction like on this one, Mr. H? Pretty good. No extra effort is required to decipher the text. I was happy enough with the September 1929 issue and so ordered this one too. The first two stories are underwhelming, but the posed photos are histrionic with a capital H (that other issue is illustrated only, so I saw these famous Ghost Stories photos for the first time).

Thank you! The staged photo's endured through to the Dec. 1927 issue, possibly into the new year. They'd been dropped by Sept 1928, can't pinpoint when as I've not seen the issues for Jan through to August of that year. I've since come to love the illustrations, too, if not quite as much.
