John Carter of Mars The First Five Novels - Leatherbound Bonded Leather – January 1, 2015

This contains two unrelated stories, /John Carter of Mars/ and /The Skeleton Men of Mars/.The first was written by Burroughs' son; in it, John Carter meets, once again, the synthetic men, this time including an indestructible giant. Not being a great literary critic, I saw no real difference from the father's work here. There have been several SF writers who kept putting out new works after they died, some of them "edited" by others; perhaps this is really an early instance of that. I have also noticed some series ("Clive Cussler", for example) being continued by other authors with the originators name used on the cover; perhaps this was intended to do the same thing -- keep the series going to enhance revenue.The second was written by Burroughs. The ending was a bit rushed; apparently, it was to be followed by more stories explaining how John Carter whomped the Skeleton Men of Jupiter. But what we have is quite interesting by itself.This book worked for me, but it may not work for you; it depends on how fanatical you are about Barsoom.

I read most of these way back in Jr. High, and loved them then, and re-reading them again, I still Love then...Action, Adventure and Romance...What more could you ask ?

I highly recommend this seller! Book is in better condition than expected; speedy delivery also a plus! Thanks so much!

Binding seems tight, paper stock feels good. Printed in small print but not too small. It would be nice to have the rest of the books like this. I like it, I think I'll be happy all the way. Thanks

Well, I did enjoy the movie. So reading about the stories is going to be a fun adventure

Such a delightful book, looking forward to reading .the next one. The Author knew what he was doing, the adventure is addictive. Really exciting to read. Very nice

This is an old fashioned adventure sage that goes on and on. Great reading for young people!

I got this for my husband as a replacement for his original. Book is in excellent condition and came in on time. Completely made his day.
