"EARLY BALLANTINE BURROUGHS" BOOKS: Tarzan of the Apes Books / John Carter of Mars Books / The War Chief / Apache Devil / The Lad and the Lion / The Mucker / Treasure of the Black Falcon by Burroughs, Edgar Rice (plus Fritz Leiber, John Coleman Burroughs)

New York: Ballantine Books 1st Printings 1963-1967 ----------paperbacks, 41 BOOKS IN TOTAL, ALL FIRST BALLANTINE US PRINTINGS. From 1963 to 1967, Ballantine published 41 books by Edgar Rice Burroughs (and associational): the 25 TARZAN BOOKS (24 by Burroughs, 1 by Fritz Leiber), the 11 MARS BOOKS, THE WAR CHIEF, APACHE DEVIL, THE LAD AND THE LION, THE MUCKER, and TREASURE OF THE BLACK FALCON (by Burroughs son, John Coleman Burroughs). Ballantine reprinted the Tarzan and Mars books (and to some extent the 2 Apache books) over the years, but it wasn't until 1990 that Ballantine/Del Rey started printing Burroughs titles they hadn't published before. Offered here is the ENTIRE 41-BOOK SERIES of all these Ballantine early (1963-1967) printings, and ALL are FIRST PRINTINGS. Cover artists are as follows: Richard Powers (Tarzan 1 to 22), Bob Abbett (Tarzan 23 to 25, all the Mars books, and probably Treasure of the Black Falcon), Ronnie M. Lessor (The War Chief & Apache Devil) and R. Bartram (The Lad and the Lion). Tarzan 25, The Mucker, and Treasure of the Black Falcon bear an original cover price of $0.75, while all the other books have a cover price of $0.50. As for condition, only 1 book, Apache Devil, can be classified as good, due to several cover creases. The other books range from VG to near fine (my highest rating), with most being at least VG+. There are a few minor creases, mild edgewear, shelfwear, mild toning inside covers and store stamps. Some are obviously unread, and close to as new.
