Tarzana, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc., (1931). The first hardcover book published by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc. -- an attempt by Burroughs to capitalize on the success of the Tarzan franchise as publisher as well as writer -- and featuring jacket art by Burroughs' nephew, Studley O. Burroughs, one of Burroughs' several attempts to turn his success with Tarzan into a family business. Slight spine lean and shelf wear, with a faint stain at the heel; still about near fine in a fine, supplied dust jacket. A very attractive copy. The dust jacket includes a short essay by Burroughs remarking on the (to him) surprising popularity of the Tarzan character worldwide, and citing the range of its appearances. [#030698] SOLD
