About This Item
New York: Ace Books, Inc., 1939. Soft cover. Very Good. 16mo - over 5¾ - 6¾" tall. Frank Frazetta. Very Good, plus some. Not far removed from Near Fine. See scans and description. New York: Ace Books, Inc., publication date not given, but 1960's; 1939 (copyright). Ace # 09201, a very early printing of Ace's paperback first edition of Edgar Rice Burroughs' 'Carson of Venus'. 16mo, perfect-bound wraps illustrated at the cover by Frank Frazetta, 192 pp. A very strong Very Good, and not far from Near Fine. Certainly never read. Moderate age-toning to the pages, faint soil at top right, rear cover, and two thin apparent creases at spine, but these are superficial and not pronounced. See scans. Third novel in the Venus Series, and one which in timely fashion satirized the Axis forces then feeling their oats in Europe near the outset of World War II. See all scans. Ships in a new, sturdy, protective box - not a bag. L47
Synopsis
Carson of Venus is the third book in the Venus series (Sometimes called the "Carson Napier of Venus series") by Edgar Rice Burroughs. It was serialized in Argosy in 1938 and published in book form a year later. The novel, which was written close to the outbreak of World War II, satirizes Nazi Germany by including a fascist political faction called the "Zani."
