What everyone should know about me----------
I am a hobbyist, not a professional book dealer. I sell dust jackets that I made for books from my own collection. This site will concern
itself only with the sale of these dust jackets. I have sold these DJs for approximately a year and a half on eBay, but their rates have so
increased recently that selling there is no longer cost effective. I'll probably keep one or two items on eBay at any given moment, but only
to have another means by which I can lead afficianados of ERB to this site. I will continue to sell and trade hardback books on eBay,
because for the foreseeable future it remains the best venue in which to find the works of my favorite authors.
Again, I'm a hobbyist now retired from public life and finally able to devote as much attention to my hobby as I can. As a hobbyist, I
don't have to make a living doing this little cottage industry of mine and can therefore offer the best product I can devise at the lowest
possible cost, and at the same time offer timely service - normal turn around is one day on any given order. Any comparision of the
quality of my facsimiles to others available on the net will show that my quality is high, indeed, for the price asked. The little bit of money I
might make (if I make any) after I meet costs goes to subsidize my expensive collecting habits.

The Moon Maid. J. Allen St. John. Collection of ERB, Inc.
When I was 16 years old and already an ardent reader of ERB in
the early ACE editions, I visited ERB, Inc where a very cordial Hulbert
Burroughs spent an hour talking to my brother and I. Why this very
busy man took the time to talk to us at all still astonishes me. But
ERB's son did more than talk, he spent an hour answering shallow
questions from a callow, awe-struck 16 year old. He was patient
and friendly throughout the interview, making us feel welcome and
appreciated. This glorious painting, the first St, John I had ever seen
was on the wall in his office. I couldn't stop staring at it.
As we got up to leave Mr. Burroughs reached to the shelf behind
his desk and took down a paperback, the as yet unreleased Carson
of Venus - first ACE edition to be released in December 1963, and
gave it to me, endorsing it on the title page. As a young reader, I
read and reread that book not realizing it's ultimate sentimental
worth to me. That tattered paperback has traveled the world with
this now-retired professional soldier. It remains the prize in my
collection, and I will always remain an admirer of the cordial
gentleman who allowed us to spend some time with him that day.
