Important Added Info: Note that this book (which is the first edition from 1968) has been personally autographed (signed) by NINE people: Johnny Weissmuller, Buster Crabbe, Danton Burroughs, James Pierce, Jock Mahoney, Joyce Mackenzie, Louise Lorraine, Denny Miller, AND Eve Brent (the autographs were obtained at Edgar Rice Burroughs' 100th birthday party held September 1, 1975, and all of the above people attended and they kindly signed this book for our consignor; see our many images)! Also note that we have pictured the front cover, the title page, and the interior page that shows the publishing information, and one or more interior 2-page spreads. Note that this is one of many items that was consigned to us by legendary Tarzan collector Phil Petras. Mr. Petras was one of the greatest Tarzan fans ever, and he became good friends with several of the actors who played Tarzan, and over many decades, starting in the 1970s, he would meet with actors and actresses who had appeared in Tarzan movies, sometimes on the sets of films, and sometimes at fan gatherings. Prior to his recent passing, he consigned most of his collection to us, and we are currently auctioning many of his autographed items, sometimes from actors who played Tarzan or Jane, and sometimes from actors who appeared in one or more Tarzan movies (but the items we are auctioning may or may not be from their Tarzan films). Mr. Petras naturally did not have "certificates of authenticity", but we feel certain that the autograph on this item, and every other item we are currently auctioning from his collection, is surely authentic! As is true of all the signed items we are currently auctioning, we give every buyer 30 days in which to review what they purchased and they can return any item as long as it is within 30 days of the end of the auction. Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
