This listing is for a curated lot of 8 classic Edgar Rice Burroughs Tarzan paperbacks. These books are largely from the iconic Ballantine "Authorized Edition" series, which defines the mid-century look of these legendary adventures. What’s Included: #2 – The Return of Tarzan #3 – The Beasts of Tarzan #4 – The Son of Tarzan #5 – Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar #6 – Jungle Tales of Tarzan #7 – Tarzan the Untamed #12 – Tarzan and the Lost Empire #20 – Tarzan and the Forbidden City A Note on the Art: This set offers a unique look at the history of paperback illustration. Most volumes feature the surrealist, atmospheric cover art of Richard M. Powers , which made the "Authorized Edition" series famous. Two volumes in this lot represent the later Ballantine printings, which shifted toward the dynamic, realistic action style popularized by artists like Neal Adams and Boris Vallejo in the 1970s. It’s a great visual overview of how the look of Tarzan evolved over the decades. Condition: These are "well-loved" vintage reading copies. They have been enjoyed by previous readers and are perfect for someone looking to build a shelf collection or finally dive into the series without worrying about "mint" collector-grade condition. General: Expect standard vintage wear, including edge rubbing, corner bumping, and spine creasing typical of mass-market paperbacks from this era. Pages: Pages exhibit natural age-toning (tanning). Transparency: I have included photos of the fronts, backs, spines, and tops of the pages, as well as close-ups of the most noticeable wear. Please review all photos carefully as they are part of this description.
