Taking Preorders for a New Edgar Rice Burroughs Limited Edition for a Limited Time

The Land that Time Forgot: the Trilogy Edition, the latest sumptuous Edgar Rice Burroughs volume from ERB Books is out in the world. The publisher has been kind enough to offer us a very limited window in which to take preorders for this three volume set.

***

The handcrafted set, which is authorized by ERB Inc. and produced in the U. S. includes, for the first time in print, three separate hardbacks with original dust jacket and endpaper paintings. Each volume is printed on archival paper, Smyth-sewn, bound in an Arbor Green Spanish Flanders grain leather and double stamped in gold. The set is housed, with a collector's portfolio, in a decorated matching leather clamshell case.

The three volumes include:

• Volume 1: The Land That Time Forgot
• Volume 2: The People That Time Forgot
• Volume 3: Out of Time's Abyss

This is the sixth matching set in the “New World” series launched in 2020 with A Princess of Mars. Each set celebrates the first appearance of one of ERB’s newly created realms filled with strange kingdoms, cultures and creatures. In addition, this trilogy set commemorates the 150th anniversary of the birth of the author, Edgar Rice Burroughs.

Each volume in the set is unique with its own book cover design, illustrated endpapers, frontispiece and title pages.  The Land That Time Forgot trilogy will feature over 100 illustrations, including 20+ tipped in color plates. More than 75 of the illustrations were commissioned for this edition and have not been previously published.

The trilogy is illustrated by an incredible array of ERB artists including Mark Schultz, William Stout, Bob Eggleton, Sanjulian, Mark Wheatley, Thomas Yeates, Daren Bader, Doug Klauba, Jamie Chase, Richard Hescox, Mike Hoffman, Joe Jusko, J. Allen St. John, Frank Frazetta and Roy Krenkel. 

The case not only houses the books but a vintage-style collector's portfolio with one-of-a-kind curated items including pulp, book and paperback advertising standees, ERB notebook pages and correspondence, promo material from The People That Time Forgot and numerous 11x17 reproductions of some of the best pieces of art from the book.
