Escape on Venus - Variant Canaveral Press editions $8.99
Fantasy Variant:
The original dust jacket for the Canaveral reprint of Escape On Venus is poorly executed. Canaveral isn't all to
blame on this one; even the original full-color, ERB Inc., first edition seems naive, even cartoonish. Canaveral
Press simply had someone adapt that original into a two-color front cover. In both editions, the jackets leave
much to be desired. However, the B&W interior illustrations are some of John Coleman Burroughs' very best. To
make this variant I scanned the original black and white frontispiece illustration. I then began to infuse color,
building it layer by layer, until I had a more life-like and a more colorful front cover. I did not care for the spine
design; so I reworked it, but kept the back cover and flaps from the original scan. I hope that you agree that this
variant is a strong esthetic improvement over the original. See the three illustrations below to compare for
yourself.
Once purchased, your dust jacket will be wrapped in a mylar dust cover, packed flat, and mailed within twenty-four hours of payment, even on weekends
--- It won't go out until the next workday, but it will be dropped off at the post office within twenty-four hours of payment. Shipping in the USA is free,
calculated in the cost of the product.
International shipping to Canada and Great Britain only: $4.00 added to the overall costs. (See SERVICES on the navbar above.)
eMail if there is a problem with fitting your DJ. I'll pre-fit it on my book just to be as sure as possible that all is correct. However, anything is possible. So
contact me immediately if you have a problem.
