FIRST EDITION IDENTIFIERS:
This book was published
the first and only time by Burroughs,
Inc. on May 1, 1944. Its publication
ended almost 4 years of absence of any
new ERB book due to Mr. Burrough’s
obligations as a war correspondent in
Hawaii. The binding is blue, but not the
standard pebbled blue of most other
Burroughs, Inc. publications. It is a
paler blue with non-textured boards and
orange-red lettering. The dust jacket
was illustrated by John Coleman
Burroughs. There are no interior
illustrations. Interestingly this book
was never published in a Magazine or by
Grosset & Dunlap. It wasn't
reprinted until almost 20 years later by
Canaveral Press.
