Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar by Burroughs, Edgar Rice - 1918

A. C. McClurg & Co, 1918. First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good-. Signed. First edition with "Published, April, 1918" on the copyright page and "W.F.Hall Printing Company, Chicago" at the base of the copyright page. The volume has gentle spine wear, 2 faint inked names and date on the front pastedown, and a rear hinge just starting. Accompanying the volume is a check from the account of Edgar Rice Burroughs, which is attached to a light cardboard backing, and is SIGNED by him. The dust jacket, which has undergone some restoration, is edge-worn; has soft creases, especially at flaps, and there is some color loss at the folds. There is soiling and light toning to white panels, and the flaps are clipped (the price of $1.35 is present on the spine). Repairs are visible on the verso of the dust jacket, and include mended chips at head and foot of spine panel, edges of front and rear panels, and the flap folds. An old tape mend is visible at bottom of spine. The jacket is now protected in a sleeve and for all its problems presents fairly well.
