TARZAN AND THE GOLDEN LION

Inscribed early printing of the first photoplay edition, with the jacket design featuring a scene from the film starring Jim Pierce - who later became Burroughs's son-in-law. First published serially in ARGOSY in 1922 then in book form by McClurg in 1923, this edition was issued to coincide with the feature-length film. This copy is an early reprint of the photoplay edition, as the rear ads match Zeuschner's identification of the 1930 printing. In addition to the jacket, this version includes four full-page black-and-white plates of stills from the movie. 7.5'' x 5''. Original orange cloth stamped in black to spine and front board. In original color pictorial dust jacket with G&D printed catalogue on verso. Illustrated with four black-and-white plates. Publisher's ads at rear. [6], 333, [13] pages. Inscribed by Burroughs to front fly leaf: "." Jacket with rubbing to center spine and front fold, light edgewear with a couple short closed tears. Book rubbed along edges, some staining to rear panel.
