Review by Scott Tracy Griffin, Author, Tarzan on Film (Titan Books, 2016), Tarzan: The Centennial Celebration (Titan Books, 2012)
For more than three decades, the Reverend Henry Hardy Heins’ A Golden Anniversary Bibliography of Edgar Rice Burroughs (Donald M. Grant, 1962) was the gold standard reference book for American author Edgar Rice Burroughs’ writings.
In 1996, Robert B. Zeuschner, PhD, a philosophy professor at Pasadena City College and a life-long Burroughs collector and enthusiast, delivered an updated and expanded bibliography: Edgar Rice Burroughs: The Exhaustive Scholar’s and Collector’s Descriptive Bibliography quickly became the authoritative reference in the field.
Though Zeuschner’s book benefited from several decades of post-Heins research, his work was constrained by the publisher’s rigid format. Twenty years later, further expanded and revised, Zeuschner’s bibliography is now available in an aesthetic layout that enhances his decades of research.
Titled succinctly Edgar Rice Burroughs: The Bibliography, the work has grown from 287 pages to more than 700, with 2,000 entries and 500 color illustrations. Zeuschner continued his practice of consulting fellow experts in the field to augment his own research, resulting in a well-vetted reference work that will swiftly gain recognition as the definitive Burroughs bibliography.
Edgar Rice Burroughs: The Bibliography, the first non-fiction book published by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc., was designed by Jim Gerlach, who crafted the beautiful 2015 Back to the Stone Age reprint for the company. Zeuschner’s book is available in two editions, the regular trade cloth edition, and a special leather-bound limited edition of 375 copies. The foreword is fittingly authored by Jim Sullos, President of Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc.
Zeuschner hasn’t simply compiled a descriptive entry for every known U.S. edition of Burroughs’ work, hardbound, softbound and periodical, but has included abundant background materials to contextualize the historical relevance of the entries, such as the 15-page biography of the author that summarizes his career achievements and literary conventions. While not exhaustive, a list of books and periodicals about Burroughs (including biographies and bibliographies), the artists who illustrated his works, and on the films based on his books are included among the appendices, along with print runs of the A.C. McClurg and ERB, Inc. editions and other pertinent data. It’s enough to send collectors on a lifelong quest to track down missing editions or ephemera to enrich their libraries.
The plentiful illustrations include samples of the books’ interior art, Burroughs’ correspondence, personal inscriptions, original manuscript pages, and advertising material. Four 16-page sections of color plates include every Burroughs pulp magazine cover, the first edition books and their dust jackets, Grosset & Dunlap reprints, and paperback covers from 1940-75.
Zeuschner’s work was an indispensable reference for me when writing, Tarzan: The Centennial Celebration (2012), and I’m glad this seminal effort has been updated and released in a format befitting the author’s life-long labor of love.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
AUGUST 18, 2016 Contact Jim Gerlach Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc. 214-405—6741 (mobile) website: www.erbbooks.com jtgerlach@verizon.net ILLUSTRATED BIBLIOGRAPHY OF EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS RELEASED ERB Inc. publishes the “definitive bibliography” by Dr. Robert B. Zeuschner Tarzana, CA: Edgar Rice Burroughs Incorporated today announced the release of the long-awaited definitive bibliography of the Master of Adventure by longtime Burroughs scholar Dr. Robert B. Zeuschner. The illustrated hardbound volume ships today in two hardbound editions. Edgar Rice Burroughs, well known for his tales of Tarzan and John Carter of Mars, has been rightfully dubbed The Master of Adventure, but few are aware of the full scope of Burroughs’ literary output in a writing career that spanned four decades. During his lifetime, Burroughs created worlds that ranged from the Earth's core to the Farthest Star, inhabited by larger-than-life heroes and heroines, populated by unimaginable creatures and captivating landscapes. “We are absolutely thrilled to publish this very special book, which has been almost twenty years in the making,” said Jim Sullos, President of Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc. “We opened our archives to Dr. Zeuschner and he has produced the definitive account of everything published by Edgar Rice Burroughs. This is a one-of-a-kind illustrated bibliography that should be a must for anyone interested in ERB, the history of pulp fiction and the works that inspired Superman and every other pulp hero since.” The Bibliography features over 2000 annotated, illustrated entries describing ERB publications from 1911 to the present and 500 color images including 1st & reprint edition books & dustjackets, paperbacks and the 97 ERB story-related pulp covers. Both editions are 7 by 10 inch hardcover books. Two editions are available in limited numbers: THE STANDARD EDITION: ISBN: 978-1-945462-00-9 $100.00 First edition bound in midnight blue Cialux Italian book cloth with the spine and front cover decorations stamped in gilt. Color wrap-around dust jacket, 736 pages; 600+ images, 500 + in color on glossy stock. Limited to 900 copies THE DELUXE EDITION: ISBN: 978-1-945462-01-6 $150.00 First edition bound in genuine red leather with a hub spine and cover decorations stamped in gilt. Limited to 375 signed (by the author, publisher, designer and John Ralston Burroughs, the grandson of ERB) and numbered copies. 736 pages; 600+ images, 500 + in color on glossy stock. Edgar Rice Burroughs: The Bibliography by Dr. Robert B. Zeuschner, will be released August 18th, 2016. Orders can be placed through the books website or by emailing the publisher, Jim Gerlach.
