Wanted to get into love craft and one of my friends gave me this. Is it worth it or do I buy another?

That one will probably fall apart soon. Get the Library of America one. Don't worry about it not looking cool, it makes up for it because it's well made.

Is the content going to be good enough to read? Not really worried about longevity.

Those versions are very hit and miss. Sometimes they're the best option (like the fairy book series) but that's only because the other options aren't very good or are very rare. A nice budget option for more annoying to find things, and they make alright gifts, though.

With HP Lovecraft, you'll definitely be able to find something better.
