| Description: |
| Blue cloth lettered in red, jacket. First Edition. |
| Inscribed by Burroughs to Ed Gilbert on the front free endpaper, with a sketch: "To Eddie Gilbert, always, Edgar Rice Burroughs, 5/27/39"; the sketch is of Tarzan, naked, seen from behind sitting in a tree, below which roars a mighty lion. Even the great Tarzan gets treed sometimes. This is the first hardcover book published by Burroughs' own publishing company. Tarzan thwarts attempts by Russian-led Communists to steal from the magnificent treasure vaults of Opar. Heins T16.1; Zeuschner 733. |
| Condition: |
| The dust jacket, an original, is evidently one which was uncirculated and discovered later in the Burroughs' archives. It is in fine condition. The volume spine is darkened, there is a burn mark (from a cigarette?) on the rear cover, some darkening to the top edges, corner a bit bumped, else very good in fine jacket. |
