This app helps users visually identify the First Edition hardcover books of Edgar Rice Burroughs, which are valuable and prized collectors items.
Antique Book collectors, dealers, investors, and early American Literature aficionados can quickly view images and details on the initial editions of the entire Burroughs bibliography - including his famous Tarzan, Mars (John Carter of Barsoom), and Pellucidar series - and also his many Westerns, Jungle Fantasy stories, and Science Fiction novels.
The detailed pictures and publishing information will assist in differentiating the desirable First Editions from generally less-valuable early reprints. Fantasy Art fans will also enjoy the colorful early graphics that decorated these early covers.
