JOHN CARTER of MARS COMMENTS:
The Burroughs books ... are clearly labors of love. Every aspect, from typography and careful editing to design and production are outstanding. The bindings are handsome, the dust jackets and illustrations are spectacular. The paper is clearly chosen for durability. These are books that any admirer of Edgar Rice Burroughs and his works will be proud to own and to preserve for generations to come. --Richard A. Lupoff, Author
The books are simply wonderful! .......... Peter M.
Marvelous. That one word says it all. The illustrations, the dedication, the new introduction, the extras, the craftsmanship...... Marvelous. William H.
I love the books. .... You produce books the way they should be produced. Steve S.
I received my books today. I've never seen anything like this JCoM set. A few words come to mind like stupendous, magnificent, awesome, unbelievable, etc. You get the drift. Frank P.
"A Home Run" - I know your email box is overflowing w/ praise, but I’ve just got to jump in and add mine too. JOHN CARTER is gorgeous. Actually unbelievable. I can’t ever recall seeing such complexity delivered in a book. And for the price point, incredible. Every aspect of the books ooze the highest level of care and quality. Art, type, paper, binding, slipcases; all marvelous. And the Remarques are very impressive. Well done, Jim! I’m most proud to be adding these two books to my collection. Jack J.
Just finished opening up your package with the two John Carter of Mars books. Wow!! These overshadow even the other books that you have done! They are beautiful! The most impressive tribute to a story that I have seen!
The illustrations couldn't be more fantastic! I was trying to describe these books to a friend of mine. Difficult to do. Illustrations from the pulp version, the Big Little Book (cover & interior), the Canaveral Press & Bantam Books editions - not to mention Bob and Doug's fabulous covers! Everybody was in on this one! And the text bonuses were equally terrific - especially Richard Lupoff's old and new introductions - and the bibliography. Amazing! Great stuff! Beautiful leather slipcases. And the Limited Extras were grand - the medallion and various letters/postcards from Canaveral to Henry Hardy Heins, Caz and Vern Coriell! A literal trip down fan memory lane. Like I said, a magnificent tribute to this book! Thanks so much for producing such beautiful products! Sign me up for whatever is next! ............... Terry M.

I just received my John Carter of Mars Limited Edition Set and I want to congratulate you on another superb job. These editions are magnificent. The attention to detail and the quality of each volume Edgar Rice Burroughs himself would have been proud of. The artwork by different contributors from the past is a collectors dream come true. I look forward to future editions of these great works of literature honoring the legacy of their creator and the artists that stirred the imagination of the characters and the worlds they inhabit. Mark S.
Your two incredible books arrived on Friday, but I did not cut open the shrink-wrap until today. You know, I have been feeling a strong urge to not open the books, but rather to insert them into a 3-D picture frame and treat them as art works. Seriously. I felt that way with the previous volumes, but these books are getting more and more amazing with each new version. Bob Z.
