Talk:Werewolf Bookshop

Ad from February 1947 Amazing Stories showing Werewolf Bookshop operating from the same address as the Werewolf Lending Library.

They were the same outfit.

-- mlo (talk) (talk) 07:31, 30 September 2023 (PDT) From an email from Bruno Teixidor: I found an ad for the Library in "Weird Tales" Vol. 33 No. 5 (May 1939) page 154 [link <https://archive.org/details/Weird_Tales_v33n05_1939-05_AT-sas/page/n155/mode/2up> ] where they call themselves "WEREWOLF LENDING LIBRARY"

Also, this is interesting: in a letter from J. Vernon Shea, Jr. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Vernon_Shea> in the next "Weird Tales" number [link <https://archive.org/details/WeirdTalesV34N0119390607/page/152/mode/2up?view=theater> ] he says "Some of the readers should gather with us on Saturday nights at the Werewolf Library, where we play cards and discuss the latest WT, flanked by a hundred-odd weird books and with Manly Wade Wellman’s imagined drawing of the library on the wall. There they could pore over Lovecraft letters and old issues of WT, with all those superb stories, and meet in person Mr. and Mrs. Werewolf, less formidable hosts than one might expect. They might even join in the pitched argument over the merits of Seabury Quinn perpetually waged by B. Reagan and the writer".
