First Edition Identifiers
A.C. McClurg printed this title on four separate occassions for a total of only 7,500 copies making this the smallest print-run of any Tarzan first edition by this publisher.
Each printing, except the first, is labeled accordingly. The 2nd printing states "Second Printing" and the date printed, in this case "September", same month as the first edition printing. The 3rd and 4th also states "Third" and "Fourth" printing. All of the printings are identical otherwise. It is unknown how many of each printings were made. The first state of this first edition is one of the scarcest ERB first edition books to locate.
There are five interior illustrations by J. Allen St. John.
The book below is of the first state, first edition as indicated by the photo to the right. The copyright page is absent any of the later printing markings.
