Description: Full Description: BURROUGHS, Edgar Rice. Tarzan and the Lost Empire. New York: Metropolitan Books, [1929]. First edition. Octavo (7 3/8 x 5 inches; 187 x 125 mm). With price-clipped first issue jacket with "salvery" instead of "slavery." Frontispiece. Original full orange cloth. Lettered in black on front board and spine. In first issue dust jacket. Jacket price-clipped. Jacket with some flaking and shelf-wear to top and bottom of the spine, and top front corner edge. Half-title with some light smudging. Still an almost fine copy. "Here are the new adventures of the most popular character in modern romance. Here is Tarzan penetrating a strange land in Africa from which no traveler has ever returned. Natives have told of hills that rise out of a huge void where the great plateau ceases as if nothing existed be-yond. They have told of white men in armor who have emerged from the abyss to carry off natives into salvery [sic]. The roar of life rumbles upward through the canyon like distant thunder. It is toward this land that Erich von Harben, archaeologist, ventures with a party of natives. The natives come back inarticulate with horror, but there is no trace of von Harben. Then Tarzan sets out alone in hunt for him, moving silently into the jungle, spear in hand, his bow and quiver of arrows across his back, his hunting knife at his hip. He goes to penetrate the mystery of the Lost Empire, and finds himself fighting for life amid the love, war and intrigue of a forgotten Roman province." (From the front flap). Heins. Zeuschner 638. HBS 68891. $1,850.
