| For collectors or resellers, determining which ERB books are truly a first edition is a challenge for a couple reasons. Almost all ERB first editions from 1914 until the 1930's lack any statement of "First Edition" as such, listing only the copyright date. Subsequent printings by A.L. Burt and Grosset & Dunlap and others also listed only the copyright date without any indication of the actual year published. So there exists much confusion for the novice collector as to which books really are first editions.
This purpose of this website is to educate new collectors of Edgar Rice Burroughs First Edition books by providing photo's, descriptions and pricing information* of every book he wrote. Not only is collecting Edgar Rice Burroughs first edition books fun, they're also a good investment that through the years have continued to increase in price. All of the photos of books and dust jackets shown with a clover are from my personal collection (to include a few without clovers). All other photos are from prior books owned, other ERB websites, or Ebay auctions. For those who have old Edgar Rice Burroughs book(s) and am wondering about the value, especially if they are published by A.L. Burt or Grosset & Dunlap, please do not e-mail me asking about their value as I do not know. These books are commonly sold on ebay for $5 to $25 or maybe more depending if a nice dust jacket is included. - Patrick Ewing E-mail: * ERBfirsts.com began a 3 year project on Jan 01, 2002 which concluded on Dec. 31, 2005. Its goal was to assign an order of rarity based on how frequent each book sells at auction, and, to include the approximate value for all the ERB first edition books. Refer to the "F.E.A.S.T. Reports" menu selection under the RESEARCH for the results of this project. |
