A BURROUGHS BIBLIO-PRO-FILE
JOAN "J the V" BLEDIG
The ERB Collection ~ Part II
..

In my Tarzan room. 
The case to my immediate right contains most of my first editions.
.

The "L-shaped bookcase found at an auction 
which holds most of my reprint hardbacks.

Another bookcase with many Burroughs reprints.
My Outdoor Girls collection is on the top shelf.
.

J the V and Dejah fight over the Amazing Stories purse.
.

"You Lucky Girl" sweatshirt.

"You Lucky Girl" framed poster.
.
My father's only surviving oil painting. 

The bottom left corner of this painting is visible in the Christmas 1939 picture found on J the V's Chicago Dirt web page.

My Tarzan doll. Never been out of the box! 

Still has the price sticker on the front of the box.

I found it one day in a Turnstyle store, 
bought it, brought it home and put it in the closet.

I guess it's now worth a bit of money.

.
A Tarzana, California, Chamber of Commerce Gift Basket filled with donations from Danton Burroughs and Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc.

Bill Morse and I purchased the last two available baskets back in 1996 at the Dum-Dum. 

Bill complained to me that he had a hard time getting it back on the plane. 

He should have done what I did--pack it and as much stuff as possible in cartons and ship them home.

.
 A thank-you gift from Will Hagenlocher and Beth Lester for helping them with the 1995 Dum-Dum in Rutland, Vermont. 

Beth's mother is a quilter and she made this little quilt for me. 

The central picture is a silk screen of the art Joe created especially for the Rutland Dum-Dum. 

The panel is signed by Joe and Maureen O'Sullivan!

.
Joan with Ed's Hubert the Harris Lion plush toy and a pile of Ed's deer skins. 

In his head-hunter days, the Harris Bank was one of Ed's clients. 

Hubert was a gift from the bank's HR department.

.
 My Manamouki witch doctor costume.

I wore this to work for Halloween one year.

.
A very merry Martian Christmas! 

Greg Phillips drew this Christmas card for me back in 1975 when we worked together at Evans Furs in downtown Chicago. 

That's Tars Tarkas aboard that Martian flyer.

His bag is full of weapons for all the good little Martian girls and boys...

..
The good-bye card from one of my former places of employment, Metrographics, 
with apologies to Burne Hogarth. 

The people I worked with (as well as some of the company's customers) 
created this card from photostats of pages from Hogarth's Tarzan book.

.
Christmas 2002. 

Kathleen Burke, one of my coworkers at Loyola Press, made this card for me. 

She found a red G&D Tarzan the Terrible in a bookstore, purchased it hoping I wouldn't have it, and drew this card to accompany the gift. 

Of course I had one (one?? several!!) but I cherish that copy from her! 

It has an honored place in my collection.
