Summary: Not Burroughs' best.
Comment: This book is the worst of all the Burroughs books I have read. It is beyond reproach that African Americans are portrayed as total morons as Hollywood portrayed them when the Borroughs wrote the book. It is however reprehensible to think about all the anti-semetic slurs in the book. It will probably be argued that like in Shakespere's time, he had to portray Jews as villains, but this book was written in the 1920's. Anyone could have been the villain but Burroughs goes out of his way to remind the reader of the villains ethnicity by saying basically, this is what to expect of Jews. Did Burroughs ever know any blacks or Jews? If he did, he certainly would not have portrayed them this way. It was not published during his lifetime probably for this reason. Why publish it now? For a fast buck.

Summary: Beautiful Example of the Bookcrafters' Art!
Comment: Donald Grant's deluxe editions are a wonder to behold and this one is no exception! Don't expect to find an ERB signature, however, he's been dead since 1950. Settle for the artist and Danton!

Summary: Historic Burroughs
Comment: The production values of all of Donald Grant's publications are excellent. That, and the historic value of any previously unpublished manuscript to the Burroughs fan or student make this a must have for the true collector. However, this is not the place to start reading Burroughs. Casual readers should look to the most often reprinted titles first!
