Description:
Frontis. by Modest Stein. Red cloth lettered in black, jacket.
Presentation copy inscribed by Burroughs to his wife's grandmother on the front free endpaper, "To Ella Kern, Wishing you many happy returns of the day, Edgar Rice Burroughs, September 16, 1935." Laid in is a get-well card with an inscription by Florence Gilbert Burroughs, grandaughter of Ella Kerns, "Wish we were nearer so we could come and see you often. Love, Florence and Eddie." Florence's mother Maude has signed her name in pencil to the top of the front pastedown, and on the free endpaper, bracketing the inscription, there are two penciled addresses, noted as "the two addresses...where Ed and Florence lived." The original jacket has 16 Burroughs titles listed on the rear panel - an earlier version had 12 listed. Heins X7.2; Zeuschner 35.
Condition:
Jacket spine with some darkening and rubbing, wear at ends and corners; endpapers a little darkened, else near fine to fine in very good or better jacket.
