BURROUGHS, EDGAR RICE
Tarzan of the Apes. Chicago: A.C. McClurg, 1914. First edition, first state with the printer's name set in two lines of Old English type, publisher's crimson cloth without the acorn device on spine (the acorn device is now considered indicative of a secondary binding). Publisher's red cloth. 7 1/4 x 4 3/8 inches (18.5 x 12.5 cm); [viii], 401, [1] pp. Spine and covers a bit dulled and soiled, but not sophisticated, though the front hinge appears to have been somewhat crudely tightened at the gutter. Name on front paste-down in ink, dated the year of publication.
