PELLUCIDAR - Canaveral Press Variant $8.99
PELLUCIDAR - Variant for Canaveral Press editions only. This is the second variant I have designed
for the Canaveral Pellucidar series. I have never cared for the DJs as released by Canaveral in their
early publishing history. It's not until after they hire Richard Lupoff to edit the books do they finally
begin to do quality work. The pre-Lupoff Canaveral editions used a very good illustrator, Mahlon
Blaine, whose stylistic impressions were simply ill suited to Burroughs' adventure-fantasies. So I
decided to do something I did like. I have therefore developed a variant using the J. Allen St. John
two-color illustration used as the frontispiece in the McClurg edition (see above left). I did not care for
the spine design; so I reworked it. I kept the back cover photo and blurb, but replaced the back flap
with an essay describing Pellucidar. To create the illusion of color, I infused transparent hues,
building layer by layer halting only when I felt tone and value were correct, giving the finished
illustration a water-color look that I found esthetically pleasing. I hope you do too.
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.
