Argosy-All Story Weekly July 1912 John Carter
<B>All Story Magazine July 1912 Issue (Munsey, 1912) Condition: GD/VG.</B></I> A very nice copy of the rare July 1912 issue of <B>Argosy </B></I>featuring the sixth and final installment of Edgar Rice Burroughs' "A Princess of Mars," the first of the author's tales of Civil War veteran John Carter and his adventures on the Red Planet. (Here it's titled "Under the Moons of Mars" and credited to the pseudonym "Norman Bean.") Burroughs' first published work as a writer, it would spawn subgenres of science fiction known as "Sword and Planet" stories and "Planetary Romances." With supple pages and good binding with no tape repair, only some heavy page tanning, soiling, and wear to the head and tail of spine keep this copy from grading higher. Bookery's Guide to Pulps GD value = $500, VG value = $1,250.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Books & Catalogs (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
