Variants - Jungle Girl

Fantasy-variant dust jacket for the Grosset & Dunlap edition of JUNGLE GIRL by Edgar Rice Burroughs:
Studley O. Burroughs did the dust jacket art (above right) for all editions of this title printed in ERB's life. There is a
surreal quality to this cover art that well matches the dreamlike opening chapters of JUNGLE GIRL. However,
overall I have always felt this painting to be too static for the type of high adventure, action story the book
becomes. Instead, to me the Laurence Herndon illustration for the 1931 cover of THE BLUE BOOK MAGAZINE
perfectly captures the spirit of the story with its illustration of ERB's lone American hero fighting against odds in a
hostile world. This fantasy-variant dj is designed using the action-packed Herndon painting as the front cover art.
In the overall design of the dust jacket I have sought to maintain the "look" of BLUE BOOK during the thirties. For
the back cover I used a G&D design used by the G&D and Burroughs Inc. in the early thirties up to World War II.
I've created a second version of this variant. In V2 I substituted critical comments about the influence of
Burroughs for the traditional '38 G&D back cover, and I also substituted some notes about Burroughs' non-series
novels for the G&D back flap. I personally like the second one better, but tastes vary, of course. So, you choose.
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: $8.00 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.
