The Beasts of Tarzan

 

FIRST EDITION IDENTIFIERS:

A.C. McClurg is printed on the spine. There are two variations in the color of the cloth boards, a forest green and an olive green. Priority has not been established as to which was printed first. A total of 19,500 copies of both variations were printed. Gold lettering is used on both the spine and cover.

J. Allen St. John illustrated the wrap-around dust jacket, frontispiece, title page and 38 small pen & ink drawings intermixed with the text throughout the book.

The photo to the right is of the "olive green" cover, and, the photo below is of the "forest green"cloth variation.

REPRINT EDITIONS

A.L. Burt Reprint Editions











   From 1917 until 1927 A.L. Burt reprinted this title in a number of variations as shown above. The earliest printings have white lettering and the dust jacket is virtually the same as the first edition jacket; however "A.L. Burt" is printed on the spine. Later versions have black lettering on the covers and spine.
   A.L. Burt did not include the date of the printing so many a novice incorrectly assumes the book to be a first edition as the only date listed is the copyright date.




Grosset & Dunlap Reprint Editions











    From 1927 until 1943 Grosset & Dunlap reprinted this title in a number of variations with some of them shown above.  Mostly the colors of the books are some hue of red.   Grosset & Dunlap did not include the date of the printing so many a novice incorrectly assumes the book to be a first edition as the only date listed is the copyright date. The age of the book can often be approximated by examing the advertisements in the back of the book for other Edgar Rice Burroughs titles.
