FIRST EDITION of Burroughs’ seventeenth story recounting the adventures of Tarzan. A FINE COPY IN A PRISTINE DUST JACKET. Currey p. 93; Heins TTr–1 (T17); Zeuschner 783. In 1932, Kingsport Press wrote to ERB suggesting that they could improve the appearance of the ERB titles by switching to the new “embossed” (pebbled) finish instead of the “vellum” finish as seen previously. This was the first ERB title to incorporate this new “embossed” look.
