erbgraphics - Dust Jackets for the works of Edgar Rice Burroughs
This site's purpose is to provide facsimile copies of dust jackets for the works of Edgar Rice Burroughs, the master of the
       adventure novel, at an affordable price for as high a quality as I can produce to the millions of readers and collectors
       who love a good story well told.

Edgar Rice Burroughs (September 1, 1875 – March 19, 1950) is the
successful author of more than 75 novels, the most famous being his series
of Tarzan novels.
An admitted ne'er-do-well, failing in any job he tried, Burroughs turned to
writing in his thirties in a desperate belief that he couldn't do any worse than
others he had read. For the rest of his life, year after year, with only a four
year break for WWII, he would turn out pot-boilers at a phenomenal rate and
in the process create some of the most beloved and enduring works of
adventure, fantasy and science fiction written anywhere on the planet. His
third book brought to the world the most familiar and popular character in all
of fiction, Tarzan of the Apes.
Readers of all types and all occupations have affirmed Burroughs’ influence
on them, particularly in their formative, adolescent years. In this context it
is difficult to overstate the influence of Burroughs' books. Until recently if
you read science-fiction when you were young, then you read Burroughs.
Within science fiction, Burroughs’ writing is a part of the genre's roots, and
few modern SF authors, and many non-SF, can claim that they have not been
influenced by Burroughs to a greater or lesser degree.

from tarzan.org: Edgar Rice Burroughs was too
old to see active service in World War II ~ he was
66 at the time of the Pearl Harbor attack [which
he witnessed] ~ but as an established writer he
served the war effort by becoming a war
correspondent. He was the oldest war
correspondent to serve in the Pacific theater,
flying from island to island (even bumping into his
son Hulbert, who was serving as a war
photographer), reporting on troop activities,
going out on bombing runs with the 7th Air Force.
Burroughs came through this period of life
unscathed, although he would send Tarzan out on
a more danger-filled mission in Tarzan and the
"Foreign Legion" (1944).

Edgar Rice Burroughs - 1940

ABOUT THIS SITE
The primary purpose of this site is, of course, to sell facsimile and variant dust jackets for the works of Edgar Rice Burroughs (often aka ERB
throughout this site). However, I've also tried to create a colorful, interesting site that also informs the visitor about the life, works,
illustrators, publishing, and collecting of ERB. Scattered throughout the site you'll find information blocks like the one above right that
highlight some aspect of the world of ERB. I hope I have succeeded in making the site as enjoyable as possible.
Thanks,
Charlie

Ray Bradbury has written that “Burroughs . . . probably changed more destinies than any other writer in
America.” Hyberbole aside, no one doubts that he is one of the most widely read and influential writers of
the Twentieth Century, inspiring people as diverse as Carl Sagan, Jane Goodall, Robert Heinlein, Arthur C.
Clarke, Gore Vidal, George Lucas, Ray Bradbury, and Ronald Reagan. . . and worldwide, millions more.

Recent customer comments -

February 2012 - (Back in the Autumn of 2011, this customer and fellow ERB enthusiast decided he would cover the jacket-less books in his Tarzan
collection.) Hi Charlie, Received the last of the Tarzan dust jackets today, and thank you so much for variant "Tarzan and the Lost Empire" jacket. I had
never seen that jacket before at all, and, as you, that novel was always one of my favorites. With this shipment I guess that our business together has
been concluded. I am very pleased with all the jackets and enjoyed ordering from you and corresponding with you. If I would ever have the opportunity to
recommend you I would do so in a heartbeat. Thanks again for everything.

January 2012 - Got the DJ's for Ant Men, Cities of Gold, and the variant Krenkel cover for Thuvia. As Always, they are wonderful. Great quality on the
reproductions. I really enjoy your variants to the point that when I buy a Burroughs first without DJ, my preference is a variant dust jacket of yours rather
than a reproduction. This is my second variant DW for Thuvia. Love them both, but now I have to buy a second copy of the book.

December 2011 - Here is a note to let you know that I recieved the Son of Tarzan cover and I greatly appreciate your At the Earth's Core variant cover.
Thanks. The cover design was great and it was interesting to read about the history of the image.

November 2011 - The dust jackets came today. They are great. I already have them on my books. Thanks
for doing such great work.

November 2011 - Got the great new jackets today, along with your letter. Thanks, they are all gorgeous and I have put them all onto their titles. Those two
1st editions, Escape and Jungle Girl, are 100% improved in their appearance with the new jackets. . .Your unique jacket designs are creating a very
special, one of a kind ERB collection on my shelves. Thanks!

November 2011 - I received my dust jackets today. I am very pleased with them. I especially like the variant styles. . .

October 2011 - [Posted to an ERB group site] Want to thank Charlie for the excellent dust jackets he sent! They are superb and are permanently situated
on my best copies on my showcase shelf. I have been moving into a new place this past week and things have been very hectic, and I am unable to reply
on my hotmail account at present to you personally. So I wished to send this note to tell you I had received the both of them, and they are truly
magnificent. . . Thanks again.

Sept 2011- Got the dust jackets and they’re great!. . . I just ordered a copy of the Canaveral Escape on Venus wrapper from you, having gotten a copy of
the book today. I look forward to it eagerly.

Sept 201I - received two dust jackets from you yesterday. Both were / are outstanding.

Aug 2011 - The dust jackets arrived a couple of days ago. . . . They look great and fit great and I'm very happy with them.

June 2011 - "My jackets arrived today and I am very happy. I love your own jacket design for Tarzan Triumphant"

April 2011 "The Girl from Hollywood and Bandit of Hell's Bend jackets [variants] arrived today. I agree that both are striking. The scenes are completely
different from their American counterparts [and] so provide a fresh view for the book."

February 2011 - The variants you produce have put back the old excitement of experiencing something new which had been missing for a long time with
my Burroughs collecting. Even if I did not have copy of a particular dust jacket, I knew what it looked like so there was no surprise when I was finally able
to obtain one. I really like the Tarzan and the Lion Man variant you produced. I had never seen a picture of that movie poster and I feel it is a significant
addition to ERB art that has long been unavailable. . . I did see on your list of testimonials that at least one person liked the Tanar of Pellucidar dust
jacket. He seemed as thrilled about it as I was when I first saw it. . . . I want to express my gratitude for the work you are doing to produce these variant
dust jackets. When I receive a dust jacket order from you . . . I have always been delighted with the treasure that awaits inside.
