Burroughs, Edgar Rice. The Mad King. A. C. McClurg & Co., Chicago, 1926.

Price: US$40.00 + shipping

Condition: Good

Description: Octavo. Blue cloth covered boards and spine with red lettering on both the spine and the front board. Book has a fair amount of bumping at the head and tail of the spine and at the tips of the outside corners with heavy accompanying rubbing in the same places - cloth is frayed at the book's extremities and inner boards are visible in some places. Lettering on the spine is pretty faded - readable close up, but would be hard to read on a shelf. Very light evidence of handling. Cream colored endpapers. Binding is straight and tight; hinges entirely intact. Cream colored pages are all clean and crisp. 365 pages. No dust jacket. Part of a large and inclusive collection of Edgar Rice Burroughs books, many of which are first printings; if there's a different Burroughs book you've been searching for, please inquire, as we probably have a copy or two. Leaning away from the Tarzan/fantasy work, The Mad King is a Sabatiniesque swashbuckler of a tale.
