Add to basketSmall 8vo, burgundy cloth with gold stamping, frontispiece, front panel, and pictorial dust jacket (unclipped & mylar protected) by Jeff Jones, 287 pages. Exceptionally fine copy of this well researched, lurid historical novel set in Imperial Rome. It offers the memoirs of a captive named "Britannicus" who becomes the slave and 25-year long companion of the sadistic and crazed Emperor Caligula. Completed during Edgar Rice Burrough's residence on Honolulu in 1941 just before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, it was published in this form 17 years after the author's death. Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) is best known for his creation of Tarzan of the Jungle as well as John Carter, the Mars adventurer. In literary step with authors like Jules Verne, H. G. Wells, and Rider Haggard, Burroughs elevated the pulps where he began into dynamic genres, among them adventure novels, lost worlds, Westerns, science fictions, and planetary romances. Exceptional condition for these early editions that have wonderful jackets, appeared during or shortly after World War on inferior paper, and were often read-to-pieces! Press run limited to 2000 copies. Zeuschner 186.

We are professional booksellers, autograph dealers, and antiquarians (members of the ABAA & ILAB) who began in business in 1969. We pride ourselves on providing books, autographs, art, and artifacts in the Best Available Condition (typically Fine, Very interesting, Scarce, or Unusual items).
Our descriptions strive to be scrupulously accurate. Whenever possible, we detail flaws, include photographs of stock listed (rather than "stock photos"), and provide some background on the authors, creators...
All our books and items are carefully packed. They are usually shipped in Manilla padded-envelopes or sturdy boxes with additional bubble wrap, styrofoam "popcorn," or other protective layers. We strive to ship within 24 hours of receiving orders--allowing extra time for weekends or holidays.
Books shipped within the United States are usually shipped via USPS Media Mail. Postal charges for Media Mail typically run from $3.17 to around $5. When site-posted charges--usually $4.95--exceed actual USPS charges, any overage helps to defray our packaging and shipping costs.
Those books requiring extra-swift transport or -care are often shipped via USPS Priority Mail. Postage charges usually average $13.50 for up to precisely 2 pounds, but rapidly escalate thus possibly making it necessary to contact clients.
Autographs & manuscripts, art & artifacts are usually shipped in stout boxes with padding and reinforcement. Because Media Mail rates do not then apply, we normally use USPS Priority mail, but also ship via UPS and FedEx. Extra charges for insurance are often necessary for valuable items.
Overseas' shipments (as to Europe) weighing with packaging Not more than 2 pounds usually incur postage charges of between $13.50 to $25. Those between 2 - 4 pounds average around $35. Packages of more than 4 pounds usually need to be quoted.
