H. P. Lovecraft Complete Collection is a real mixed bag. Stories like The Shadow over Innsmouth, The Dunwich Horror and The Music of Erich Zann are classics that, while a little wordy, still stand up today. However, these great tales are spread thin in the weight 1000 odd page tome that contains a lot of baffling non-stories.

If you're a huge Lovecraft fan I'm sure there is real value in this but for those of us with a more of a passing interest I'd recommend you pick your stories individually; start with In the Vault it is the best one in the whole book.

H. P. Lovecraft Complete Collection is a lengthy collection of Eldritch, cyclopean horror that contains some fantastic stories, unfortunately the chaff outweighs the wheat by quite a stretch.
