Variant - Back to the Stone Age - Blue first edition, ERB, Inc. $8.99
Fantasy variant dust jacket: The John Coleman Burroughs' colorful, even garish, cover for BACK TO THE STONE AGE has
long been a favorite of mine. However, ever since I saw Emmet Watson's cover painting for the January 9, 1937, issue of
ARGOSY WEEKLY (first magazine printing as SEVEN WORLDS TO CONQUER). I have admired its more withheld color
pallette and harmony of values and tone.
To create this variant, I used a Burroughs first edition (blue covers) for fitting purposes and the ACE Books blurb for the
back cover design. I then relettered the cover and spine, adding a Burroughs doodad just above the Burroughs logo. The
front flap blurb contains critical comments about the impact of Burroughs on Twentieth Century notables. The back flap
blurb is an essay describing the general characteristics of Pellucidar. Finally the overall design is an attempt to emulate the
ARGOSY WEEKLY pulp covers in which the story was originally published.
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.
