About This Item
No dust jacket. The red fabric covered boards show many decades of wear. The fabric is worn to the boards at the corners, has been worn down at the top of the spine and is beginning to split at the rear edge of the spine (see photo #4). The interior is in much better shape, with no hinge splits or marks, and yellowed pages in a tight binding. The date on the copyright page is 1915, but knowing how Grosset & Dunlap worked, this copy is likely a few decades newer (they never did like to put in an actual publication date). Considering the other books that came in with this one, I'd put its publication date somewhere in the 1930s or 1940s. A moderately scarce copy.
Synopsis
The Return of Tarzan is Edgar Rice Burroughs' second novel in the series starring the man raised by apes, and the story picks up where Tarzan of the Apes left off. Tarzan finds himself back in the coastal jungle of his upbringing after being thrown off a ship by his deadly enemies.
