Very interesting biography of this best-selling author. I've read most of the Tarzan books as a kid and some of the Mars and Venus books. (

A comprehensive, two volume paperback biography complete with extensive photographs covering most of aspects of ERB's long life and career. When paired with Richard Lupoff's excellent [book:Edgar Rice Burroughs: Master of Adventure], the pair creates the most complete over view of ERB's life to date. (
