Pirates of Venus

Burroughs, Edgar Rice

Published by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc. Publishers, Tarzana, CA, 1934

Smaller octavo. Blue buckram covered boards and spine with orange lettering on both the spine and the front board. Book has a fair amount of bumping at the head and tail of the spine and at the tips of the outside corners. Heavy rubbing at the head and tail of the spine and a fair amount of rubbing at the tips of the outside corners: cloth is frayed and torn at the spine's extremities and along the rear edge of the spine in a couple places - in one spot there's a small chip missing. Enough rubbing at the outside corners to wear through the cloth at the tips and expose the inner boards. Light rubbing around the outside edges. Map endpapers with Amtor. Binding is straight and still pretty tight. Light cream colored pages have a very occasional age spot, but are most all clean and crisp. 314 pages. Red publisher's topstain. Frontis art and dust jacket art both by J. Allen St. John. Dust Jacket - is worn like an original, but owner has noted that it's a facsimile jacket. Jacket is missing a chip in the rear corner of the head of the spine that is 1/2" across at it's widest point and 1/2" deep at it's deepest point.1/8" chip in the very tip of each of the outside corners and along the tail of the spine. Just a trace of rubbing along the upper and lower edges. Fair amount of evidence of handling on all the white parts of the jacket, but colors and lettering still all clear and easy to read. Please inquire for images of parts of the book not shown among those we provide. First book in Burroughs's Venus series. Seller Inventory # 010305
