A. L. Burt - The Beasts of Tarzan
 |  |  |  |  |  |  |
NOTE:According to erbfirsts.com: "From 1916 until 1929 A.L. Burt reprinted this title in a number of variations .... The
earliest printings have white lettering and the dust jacket is virtually the same as the first edition jacket; however "A.L.
Burt" is printed on the spine. Later versions have black lettering on the covers and spine. A.L. Burt did not include the
date of the printing so many a novice incorrectly assumes the book to be a first edition as the only date listed is the
copyright date."
A. L. Burt used different printing houses for their two print runs of this book. As a result, they printed this book in two
thicknesses with the first print run being thicker than the second. The different sizes are easy to recognize, because
the early, thicker version has white lettering (sometimes looks like a pale green) on the front cover cloth and spine.
The later, thinner version uses black lettering. Both Versions can be seen and are listed below.
