Edgar Rice Burroughs Fall Book List


As usual I cannot come up with a good opening so I'll just start: With this year celebrating the 100th anniversaries of both A Princess of Mars and Tarzan of the Apes (and to an equal degree The Outlaw of Torn) publishers will be releasing a few new books that will either celebrate or expand the creations of Edgar Rice Burroughs. So with this list I thought I would try to present a complete list to let you, the faithful reader, know what is coming. I will probably miss something I'm sure so if you see or know of a book that is not listed here please let me know. The books are listed in order of release date and they are:
