The complete works of H P Lovecraft is available as one hardback book on Amazon with a nice sturdy case, thin bible-style pages and a page ribbon. It's a great buy.

This review speaks for itself:
"I originally read most of these stories a quarter of a century ago, but it was good to find them all in one volume. Let's face it, Lovecraft needs to be read from a heavy tome, preferably by guttering candlelight, as you strain to hear the strange slithering sound just outside your chamber door, and not on a tablet on the 8.52 to Nottingham. All the classic Lovecraft tales are here, and the book is beautifully bound and printed. The print is a good readable size, and each tale has a brief introduction detailing when it was written and any interesting references. You soon realise how hugely influential old H.P was, sci-fi, fantasy and horror have all learned from him, writers like Stephen King and James Herbert obviously so, but others too. Terry Pratchett referenced Lovecraft too. One slight word of caution, the racial language and descriptions in some of the stories are very much of their time. When I first read them years ago I didn't notice so much, but now, even though I'm not the most PC person in the world, some of the language is fairly shocking. If you've not read Lovecraft before be aware of it, but don't let it put you off. Overall a really nice edition."
I got this one (German amazon but got the English book version) and can't complain. The book comes with a little "box" to shove the book into and the cover/back is like satin or silk or some soft fabric

Edit: typo
I do believe there are actually a few of his works not included in this print, but I can't remember which ones. Apologies.

Knickerbocker Classics makes very nice collections from several authors. They had a collection of Edgar Allan Poe's work at one point, but I can't seem to find it now. It's a shame, I was thinking about grabbing that one next.
You are in luck right now my friend. I just picked this up from amazon and it will have everything you need and more, especially for the current price
Ew, ebooks.
In all seriousness though, while I much prefer the values of physical media over the convenience of digital media - that is an astounding amount of content for what is essentially lollipop money. Would recommend.
For anyone looking for a complete physical edition, I'd go with the one I own:
I like how I'm on your wishlist ;)
Anyways, I'd recommend Bad Religion, Anti-Flag, Black Flag, The Adolescents, No Use For A Name (only know 1 song) and yeah. I don't really listen to that music much anymore, so my list is shorter.
I got mine from Amazon Germany.

Thanks, but I think Ill go with this I see and maybe just read others digitally if needed, because I have money only for one book :/
Thanks for this, is this one the one 7th from left under label "Knick. Class."? If yes ill probably go with it
I'm a big fan of The Music of Erich Zann

Falls original in Englisch okay geht, würde ich dir die Ausgabe wärmstens empfehlen.
Maybe this one? I'm sorry, I don't know, I own a different version translated into Italian, since that's my native language. You should ask on this sub to people who read the stories in English. Maybe there's something on the sub's front page.
I bought This about 2 years ago and it’s beautiful, complete with slip case.
Just bought this collection on amazon to get back into reading. Love it so far!
This is the best edition IMO: https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Fiction-Lovecraft-Knickerbocker-Classics/dp/1631060015/
And this one too: https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Tales-Lovecraft-Knickerbocker-Classics/dp/1631066463/
I'm partial to Knickerbocker's Complete Fiction.

Regardless of what you go with you'll want to get this as a companion, the revision stories are never included in the main collections. People very often neglect these.

It's the Knickerbocker edition.

Si tu lis en anglais, The Complete Fiction of H. P. Lovecraft
Is Skeleton Crew a whole book with Shortstories, like This
Buy this one: https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Fiction-Lovecraft-Knickerbocker-Classics/dp/1631060015
It's very cheap for a very good looking hardcover/tome. Fit's the lovecraft mood perfectly. Bought a similar one for Edgar allan Poe
I'm going to interpret your question a little bit differently and provide some books that are not directly RPG related but will help you to be a better role-player or Game Master. Then, I will finish off with some more RPG specific suggestions.
The essential reads are the following:
For GM-specific materials, I really love the spirit conveyed by Dungeon World and Fate Core (and the Fate System Toolkit for that matter). If you learn nothing else from Dungeon World, learn the GM principles and how to set up Fronts. Fronts (or something similar) are the way you should be preparing as a GM that very few other books convey. The Alexandrian has a lot of amazing materials. I know that Play Unsafe was recommended here, but it was a little short and basic for my taste... much of the same principles will be covered by reading the other recommended texts in my post. If you absolutely must learn about improvisation as a skill in and of itself, read Impro. The author of Play Unsafe drew heavily from this text and most of the truly unique ideas can be found within Impro.
just get the huge-massive collected edition, can't go wrong:
Start (and end) here!
