Tangor's Review

It's not often one finds a reference that is consulted almost daily, or one that is more complete than Robert Zeuschner's Edgar Rice Burroughs bibliography with the incredibly long name. I'm not exactly sure how I came to deserve an autographed copy of this wonderful book which was sent to me by the gracious Bob Zeuschner, but like those Greek fellows, I'm not looking in the horse's mouth and will treasure the gesture for years to come.

Zeuschner, known variously as "Dr. Bob," "Tardos Mors" or, "that incredibly fine fellow" has authored what is arguably the best Edgar Rice Burroughs bibliography currently available. I'm no slouch as far as ERB is concerned, having been a fan and amateur scholar for nearly 40 years, but I do most humbly bow to the impeccable research and information available in Zeuschner's book. This fellow knows ERB like most of us know the back of our hand.

The volume is profusely illustrated with black and white examples of pulp, paperback, and hardcover editions. The wealth of images alone are worth the cover price. Bob's extensive ERB collection, knowledge, and input and submissions by other long time ERB collectors is the basis of this easy to use bibliography. Cross indexing of the variant titles is included, which makes it easy for the neophyte or collector to find the pertinent information as regards the various editions of Edgar Rice Burroughs' fantastic romance adventures.

Bob's love for the genre is evident in his dedication for detail and commentary as regards each volume.

This is a must read for anyone interested in reading or collecting the works of Edgar Rice Burroughs.
