Author: BURROUGHS, Edgar Rice
Title: Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar
Description: New York City, Grosset & Dunlap. Hardcover. pp. 350, ads.Small 8vo,,Red cloth binding with stamped black lettering to front & spine,The fifth Tarzan novel, first published by McClurg in 1918, and first reprinted by Burt in 1919, then by Grosset and Dunlap in 1927. This is an early G&D reprint (Zeuschner 605), probably from the late 1920s, as the next G&D reprint, in 1940, lacked any J. Allen St. John interior artwork (Zeuschner 607). There are 25 ERB titles listed at the end of the book, and 27 on the rear flap of the dust jacket, the art for which shows Tarzan riding the back of a lion as he is about to plunge a sword into its side. The book is in very good condition, showing only the slight shelf wear. The binding is tight, the contents clean, and the endpapers are unmarked. The accompanying dust jacket is the original - it is not a facsimile. A piece of the front panel is missing - about 2' x 3' from the lower right. There is also some light overall staining and edge-chipping: still in service condition. With a black-&-white frontispiece, printed on coated paper, and full colour dust jacket art, both by J. Allen St. John. .
