Edgar Rice Burroughs - Synthetic Men of Mars (Methuen, 1941).
<B>Edgar Rice Burroughs - Synthetic Men of Mars (Methuen, 1941).</B></I> This is the first UK edition of this title, and the ninth in Edgar Rice Burroughs' Barsoom tales starring John Carter, the Warlord of Mars. Originally serialized in the pulp magazine <B>Argosy</B></I>, in the issues published from January 7 through February 11, 1939, the dust jacket is Very Good (but price clipped), while the book itself grades Very Good. These vintage Methuen editions from the United Kingdom are a great -- and scarce -- alternative for collectors who may not have the budget for high-value A. C. McClurg first printings. The painted dust jacket artwork by G. P. Micklewright adds to the attraction of this great book. <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
