The book remains structurally sound but exhibits notable signs of wear commensurate with a wartime-era production. The binding is reasonably tight, though the spine displays moderate cockling and minor bumping to the extremities. The original blue cloth boards are intact but feature noticeable spotting and staining, particularly across the rear board, alongside general surface rubbing and edge wear. Internally, the text block is relatively clean, though the edges present typical age-related toning and minor foxing that occasionally encroaches on the preliminary leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCatalogue Note\u003c\/b\u003e: This is the first UK edition of Edgar Rice Burroughs's classic sequel, published by Methuen \u0026amp; Co. Ltd. in 1918, following the true first American edition by A. C. McClurg in 1915. Issued in the publisher's original blue cloth with distinctive black leaf wreath tooling and lettering, this edition represents an early and highly sought-after British printing of the Tarzan mythos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eFinding copies in their original unrestored cloth without severe structural degradation has become increasingly uncommon. The present copy offers a solid, representative example of a century-old survivor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eIn \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"10\"\u003eThe Return of Tarzan\u003c\/i\u003e, Edgar Rice Burroughs thrusts his iconic Lord of the Jungle back into the heart of civilisation, only to prove that the primal call of the wild can never be fully silenced. Struggling to adapt to aristocratic life in Paris and entangled in espionage, Tarzan inevitably finds his way back to the unforgiving African jungle. There, he must confront old enemies, discover the lost and opulent city of Opar, and fight to reclaim the heart of Jane Porter. A breathless adventure of romance, danger, and untamed heroism, this thrilling sequel cements Tarzan’s legacy as one of literature’s most enduring figures.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55815752089939,"sku":"6921","price":31.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20261105_102345.jpg?v=1794310629","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/the-return-of-tarzan-edgar-rice-burroughs-1st-edition","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
