*Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror: We’re continuing to introduce the new layout for our books categories, with an image for each book. This week, we return to our Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror category for the first of several updates spotlighting the Master of Adventure Edgar Rice Burroughs. Burroughs was very prolific, and wrote in several series, in addition to his most famous creation Tarzan of the Apes. His style and settings set the tone for a whole library full of imitators/homagists in jungle, interplanetary and exotic locales. We shall be covering our ERB stock in a number of updates over the coming weeks, starting here with his Mars adventures (my personal favourite), plus a quick visit to the land of Pellucidar, at the Earth’s core. We have five Mars hardcovers, published by Methuen in the 1950s with dust jackets depicting the first edition classic illustrations (these are really beautiful books), plus another UK 1950s paperback, plus a US Pellucidar novel which is new in stock. The Mars series ran to eleven volumes, Pellucidar to seven. Watch for the next ERB update coming soon.
