Description: Two ex-rental-library G&D Tarzan reprints from the 1920s -- one retaining most of its original dust jacket -- for one price. "Lord of the Jungle" is Zeuschner 684, retaining the 1928 McClurg copyright page but actually G&D 1929, with four glossy internals (including the frontispiece) by J. Allen St. John. FFE bears the rubber stamps of two Los Angeles-area rental libraries (or one that changed its name & address), but there are NO other lending-library stampings, attachments, or removed attachments. Front and back panels and both flaps of dust jacket all present though tattered, jacket might otherwise grade "good," but we reduce grade of jacket on "Lord of the Jungle" to "poor" since the dust jacket spine is entirely missing. (Jacket now in a Brodart protector, which at least holds it together.) African jungle fantasy, filmed many times, most notably with German-American Olympic swimmer Johnny Weismuller. "Golden Lion," on the other hand, is Zeuschner 583, the first Grosset & Dunlap printing (1924) identified by the fact most of the illustrations appear at the wrong page numbers (caused by picking up the list of illustrations directly from the earlier McClurg edition -- list corrected in later G&D printings.) Black titles to orange boards; spine slanted 3/8ths inch; NO dust jacket on this second offering. FFE of "Golden Lion" stamped "Montrose Rental Library / 2245 Honolulu Avenue," but there are NO other lending library stampings, crossouts, or attachments. All eight glossy B&W plates (including frontispiece) firmly tipped in, although "The Golden Lion with two mighty bounds was upon the high priest" (at pg. 256) shows a noticeable white diagonal scratch. 377 and 333 pp., respectively. The pair of early G&D Tarzan reprints now reduced from $44.
