About This Item

Tarzana: Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc, 1938. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 7x5x1. Burroughs, John Coleman. First edition (Heins FC-1). Fine in near fine jacket. 1938 Hard Cover. 315, [1] pp. 8vo. Color frontispiece and four black-and-white plates by John Coleman Burroughs. The twenty-fourth in the Tarzan series. 'The search for a man and a huge diamond brings Tarzan to two cities hidden in an extinct volcano... FC-1 has the unique distinction of being the one and only Burroughs book to have a frontispiece in full color. This was the first of the Tarzan titles to be illustrated by John Coleman Burroughs, the author's younger son. By contrast, the 1948 reprint has a very crude frontispiece, a different one, utilizing the jacket picture but with large uneven blank spaces gaping where the original title-and-author lettering was deleted.

Synopsis

Tarzan and the Forbidden City is a novel written by Edgar Rice Burroughs, the twentieth in his series of books about the title character Tarzan.
