The original mustard cloth binding remains structurally sound, though it exhibits general shelf-wear, slight crushing to the spine ends, and mild surface soiling commensurate with age. The black wreath tooling and typographical stamping on the front board and spine remain relatively bold. Internally, the binding is tight and secure. The pages show only light, age-appropriate toning and occasional minor foxing, presenting a solid, readable text block without major blemishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCatalogue Note\u003c\/b\u003e: This is the First English Edition of \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"53\"\u003eThe Beasts of Tarzan\u003c\/i\u003e, published in Great Britain in 1918 by Methuen \u0026amp; Co.

When his son is kidnapped and his wife is abducted by his old nemesis, Nikolas Rokoff, the Ape-Man is marooned on a desolate island, seemingly helpless and far from civilisation. But Rokoff vastly underestimates the savage prowess of the jungle lord. Reverting to his primal instincts and forging alliances with the island's fierce predators, Tarzan embarks on a relentless pursuit across the deadly African wilderness. Driven by a thirst for vengeance that only a human beast of the jungle could devise, he battles mightily to reclaim his family in this thrilling tale of survival and retribution.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55815493714259,"sku":"6907","price":125.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20261105_093358.jpg?v=1794308888","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/the-beasts-of-tarzan-edgar-rice-burroughs-1st-edition","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
