While this book does have some condition issues as described it is complete and is quite possibly the finest association ever offered for sale. <br /> <br /> Edgar Rice Burroughs the legendary creator of Tarzan and John Carter of Mars shared more than a familial bond with his son John Coleman Burroughs; their relationship was deeply intertwined with creative collaboration and mutual respect. As Edgar's literary empire grew John-an accomplished artist in his own right-became instrumental in visually shaping his father's imaginative worlds. Beginning in the 1930s John illustrated many of Edgar's later publications breathing life into iconic characters and scenes with a visual style that complemented his father's adventurous prose. Beyond the pages their partnership symbolized a generational bridge with Edgar's vivid storytelling and John's striking illustrations merging to create a legacy that spanned both literature and art. Their relationship was not merely that of father and son but of two artists whose visions converged to captivate readers across generations. A.C. McClurg & Co hardcover

Without a doubt one of the finest examples of fine leather binding I have ever encountered on a newly issued book. Each of the 25 copies from this limited first printing run are bound in vegatan oiled leather. Due to the nature of the natural tanning process each volume is unique with its own distinctive patterning. What may be perceived as nicks or scratches are really a consequence of the tanning method.

Housed in original red cloth slipcase. 5 7/8 X 9 1/8 Inches. 339 2 PP.<br /> <br /> A nice collection of 18 Mad Amos Malone stories which blend fantasy with the western in ways that interest Foster's Fantasy fans as well as lovers of tales of the Old West.
