One hundred years ago the third Tarzan book by Edgar Rice Burroughs was first published as a novel. It was originally released as a serial in 1914. This copy is a first edition in very good condition. Sadly it has no dust jacket. The amazing success of the Tarzan books and other great E. R. Burroughs works insure the lasting value of first editions such as this.
For our “Pick” this week I would like to highlight two wonderful early lamp bases that I have recently put out for sale. The smaller and earlier of the two is cut pressed glass with a brass stem and marble base. The larger lamp has a lovely milk glass base. This is a great opportunity for a collector with some extra lamp burners to get a early lamp at a reasonable price.
This week our “Pick” is not very photogenic but that does not diminish it’s desirability to book lovers everywhere. Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The House of the Seven Gables. I believe this is the second printing of this world famous novel. Printed by Houghton, Mifflin & Co. in 1879. It is in very good condition for it’s age and much more affordable than a first edition.
