Product Description
Edgar Rice Burroughs, science fiction author and creator of Tarzan, also wrote many novels featuring tales of other worlds, other cultures, other times. From pulp magazines to movie memorabilia, ERB collectibles can now be found at garage sales and upscale auction houses. Whether it's a movie poster worth thousands of dollars, first edition books worth a few hundred, or the current crop of comics and toys, the range of collectibles grows weekly. With over 255 full color photos, this book provides fans of ERB with an essential guide to the prolific works of this imaginative and popular author. Individual chapters highlight Burroughs' popular series on Mars, Venus, and Pellucidar, western and historical tales, and many more. Featured are pulp fiction magazines, hardcover and softcover books, comics, foreign editions, fanzines, trading cards, even toys and movie posters. Values are included for all items. ERB fans have a treat in store!

A Sore Disappointment September 29, 2000
43 out of 43 found this review helpful
As an avid Burroughs collector, I awaited the receipt of "Collecting Edgar Rice Burroughs" with great anticipation. After reading the book, I debated whether to return it for a refund. It is of almost no value to a collector. First, it contains no information about any of the Tarzan books. Secondly, it contains no information or valuation for any of the A.L. Burt or Grosset and Dunlap editions of Burroughs books. Thirdly, valuations for first editions are only given with the dust jacket, no value is given for the book without the dust jacket. Fourthly, the values given for those first editions are grossly inflated. I regularly buy those same books in Burroughs auctions for approximately 1/10th the price at which Erardi valuates them. Fifthly, none of the information needed to discriminate between a first edition and a second printing is given. There is really very little information in this book. It consists mostly of color pictures of various dust jackets and paperback and pulp covers. If pictures of the artwork are what you want, this is the book for you. If you are looking for a reference book to help in your collecting of Edgar Rice Burroughs, look somewhere else.
