HARDCOVERS
Books penned by Edgar Rice Burroughs in roughly chronological order.
It is very hard to keep my ERB items fully organized as I pull out
items every week
to provide fodder for our weekly and monthly Webzines and Website
updates.
Sadly I've never been able to afford many first editions -- or even
repro dust jackets to showcase the books.
Some of these treasures may appear a bit ratty but they are well
read and well loved.
I purchased my first ERB books in the early '50s and they have all
survived to this day.
The stories are remarkable but in many cases the back stories as
to
how the editions found their way to these shelves are almost as
entertaining . . .
. . . every cover tells a story.
No real favourites here . . . they're all family members
Last shelf for now. . . there are many more "second stringers" elsewhere.
The Heins "work copies" ~ Odds and Sods ~ A few paperbacks
A Catch-All shelf.
A few treasures from Africa
PAPERBACKS
UK 4-Square ~ Ballantine ~ Ace ~ Del Rey
Look what the 60s boom generated ~ And a few BLBs
Great for reading on the road. . .
. . . the iPad allows these guys to stay home a lot more now.
Some interesting German hardcovers found their way into this PB
area
COMICS and BIG LITTLE BOOKS
Tarzan the Terrible with the JCB flip motion found me in
the late 1940s. . .
hooked on BLBs ever since.
I have all Mad mags up until they turned to colour and advertising.
The early Mad comics featured some great Tarzan and pulp hero parodies.
