Tarzan Of the Apes

Aa early printing of the first G&D reprint of the 1st Tarzan novel. The publication date is estimated but most likely around1928. The ampersand at the bottom of the spine is "closed" but the top stain to the text block appears to be a faded green The DJ is from 1928 with a synopsis of the book on the front flap and a list of 25 ERB titles on the reverse. The DJ illustration and frontispiece are by Fred J Arting with the DJ being a color adaption the classic of Tarzan in silhouette. The book is in very good shape with bright red boards and sharp black lettering. The binding is tight and the text block is clean. The is wrinkling near to top of the fore edge of the first few pages. The DJ is fairly bright with some edge & corner wear, small loss at the top of the spine, and rubbing to the spine hinges. There is a 2.75" x 1" piece missing at the bottom of the spine.A good to very good copy of an early Tarzan reprint.
