About This Item
Ventura, CA: John Anthony Miller, 2011. A restored facsimile dust jacket for the first Metropolitan edition for A Fighting Man of Mars. The jacket was restored by artist John Anthony Miller and archival ink and special paper were used. Jacket comes trimmed and enclosed in a Mylar jacket protector, ready to put on the book. Please see the photograph. Edgar Rice Burroughs is still the greatest escapist-fantasy-romance-adventure author who ever lived. All his books read well today, just as they were written since the early 1900's. A signed label by the artist on the verso of the dust jacket indicates that the dust jacket is a FACSIMILE as well as a indicated discreetly on the rear jacket flap. Nicely done..
