Burroughs, Edgar Rice. THE CHESSMEN OF MARS. Chicago: A. C. McClurg & Co., 1922. 8vo. Bound in the original red cloth over boards this is a goodcopy only with some soiling and wear to spine and tips. This volume does have the rare, original, unrestored A. C. McClurg DUST WRAPPER. The wrapper is soiled with numerous chips and tears, mostly along the folds but is complete with no loss of text. The Chessmen of Mars was one of Burroughs most imaginative and complex works. Per Irwin Porges in his biography of ERB "weaving the theme of the game of chess--called "jetan" on Mars--into the story was truly an inspiration". Burrough's believed this was different than his previous works and fought hard for more money from several magazines but ended up selling the rights to his old standby, Munsey's for $3500.00. See Irwin Porges, Edgar Rice Burroughs, p.348 and Henry Hardy Heins CM1 for additional information. Price: USD 3,500.00 other currencies   order no. 90    inquire
