BURROUGHS, Edgar Rice (1875–1950). The Deputy Sheriff of Comanche County. Tarzana: Edgar Rice Burroughs Inc., [1940]. 8vo. Frontispiece and 22 headpieces by ERB’s son, John Coleman Burroughs. Publisher’s grey pebbled cloth lettered in red; original unclipped “cellotexted” dust jacket (no priority established) also designed by John Coleman Burroughs (two small tape repairs to verso of jacket at panel edges). FIRST EDITION (stated). Currey p. 88; Heins DS–1 (X21); Zeuschner 110. “An interesting feature of this book is that the back dust jacket flap advertises for a genuine A.C. McClurg first edition of ‘Tarzan of the Apes’ because Ed Burroughs himself did not own a copy; he’d given them all away to family and friends.” (Zeuschner, Edgar Rice Burroughs The Bibliography).
