From the moment a British edition of The All-Story Magazine (UK) carrying Under the Moons of Mars washed onto British shores in 1912, Edgar Rice Burroughs has never truly been out of print in Britain, his novels remaining in circulation for the next seventy years.
For the first time, this groundbreaking volume gathers over seven hundred meticulously documented entries and more than five hundred illustrations, collating every known British printing that has thrilled generations of readers.
Methuen & Co. Ltd. were so inundated with requests that, in February 1920 alone, they were forced to issue four separate printings of Tarzan of the Apes, ultimately publishing thirty-two editions of that single novel between 1917 and 1964.
Fans of Burroughs's work, collectors around the globe, book dealers, librarians, and scholars will find concise, painstakingly assembled data on each and every printing-covering bindings, dust jackets, page counts, and the artists whose images brought these adventures to life.
Burroughs, forever synonymous with Tarzan-the orphaned boy left to the mercies of the jungle in a tale echoing the legends of Romulus and Remus-became a cultural sensation from the moment his creations reached the bookshops, and went on to be one of the best-selling authors of the twentieth century.
His imaginative worlds influenced writers such as Ray Bradbury and Arthur C. Clarke, film-makers including James Cameron and George Lucas, and gave us heroes like John Carter of Mars, widely cited as a key inspiration for Superman himself.
Immerse yourself in Edgar Rice Burroughs Bibliography: The British Editions and discover, in unrivalled detail, the largest body of Burroughs's work ever published outside the United States.
