The original publisher’s cloth binding remains tightly bound and structurally sound, though it exhibits age-appropriate fading to the spine and boards, alongside minor bumping to the extremities. The internal hinges are secure with no splitting to the endpapers, maintaining a firm text block. Internally, the pages are largely bright and highly legible; the typical moderate foxing and toning is confined primarily to the text-block edges and preliminary leaves, only mildly encroaching into the margins. Overall, a robust, strictly graded, and well-preserved survivor lacking the rare dust jacket.\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 copy represents the first UK edition, arriving two years after the American debut by A. C. McClurg. Issued in the publisher's original red cloth, this early printing features the distinctive central wreath motif stamped in black to the upper board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eThe front free endpaper bears an early, factual ink ownership signature of \"P.

Unjacketed copies in respectable condition serve as solid representative acquisitions for collectors of vintage pulp and adventure literature who are priced out of the premium dust-jacketed market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eIn this thrilling fourth instalment of the legendary Tarzan series, the narrative shifts focus to Jack Clayton, the son of the Lord of the Jungle. Lured away from the safety and sophistication of his privileged London life, the boy finds himself stranded in the perilous African jungle. Bereft of civilisation, he must embrace his primal heritage, forging an alliance with the great ape Akut to survive. Evolving into Korak the Killer, he carves his own brutal legend into the untamed wilderness, proving that the savage blood of Tarzan runs deep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55811454894419,"sku":"6903","price":55.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20261105_092537.jpg?v=1794289989","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/the-son-of-tarzan-edgar-rice-burroughs-1st-edition","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
