Henry Heins Edgar Rice Burroughs Bibliography
<B>Henry Hardy Heins:<I> A Golden Anniversary Bibliography of Edgar Rice Burroughs</B></I></B></I> <B>Inscribed to Mrs. J. Allen St. Johns.</B></I> (West Kingston: Donald M. Grant, 1964), revised edition of the 1962 first edition, 418 pages, illustrated with a selection of artwork from Burroughs' books and stories, maroon cloth with gilt titles, 4to (7" x 10.5"), near fine in a fine jacket. The inscription, on the ffep, reads in full "<I>To Mrs. J. Allen St. John/ in memory of J. Allen/ who must have been a/ wonderful man./ All good wishes-/ Henry Hardy Heins</B></I>". J. Allen St. John was the primary illustrator for Burroughs' books and magazine stories. His work is immediately recognizable and has become inextricably associated with Burroughs' work. Accompanying the book is a two-page letter on the author's church letterhead (the author was a Lutheran pastor in Albany, New York) to Mrs. St. John requesting, among other things, to use St. John's classic "<I>Tarzan and the Golden Lion</B></I>" illustration for the cover of this book. <I>From the Ventura Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Books & Catalogs (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
