Description

First published in 1917, A Princess of Mars introduced John Carter of Virginia and launched the Barsoom series — one of the foundational works of American planetary romance and early science fiction. Burroughs’ tale of interplanetary adventure, swordplay, and Dejah Thoris set the template for decades of pulp and genre storytelling.

This 1939 Tarzana edition reflects Burroughs’ move to publishing under his own imprint, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc., and represents an early West Coast production of the classic. The jacket art — vivid, dramatic, and instantly recognizable — remains one of the most enduring visual interpretations of John Carter and Dejah Thoris.

A sharp, jacketed Tarzana-era Burroughs — increasingly difficult to find in this condition.
