Where SF started, but a careless publisher,
By
This review is from: John Carter of Mars, Vol. 1: The Princess of Mars / The Gods of Mars (Paperback)
Many older SF readers will tell you that the Burroughs "Mars" books are where they fell in love with science fiction. For many of us a lifetime of reading started here. Grand adventure well told, and a root tale of SF -- every writer in the field has, at some point, touched on themes originated here.
But now that these books are entering the public domain, it seems that publishers are getting careless. Not only does the first volume split second and third volume of the opening trilogy, but someone should be really embarrassed that the got the title of the first book wrong. It's "A Princess of Mars" not "THE Princess of Mars" -- one wonders if the copyediting is any better inside!

Laid an Egg!,

This review is from: John Carter of Mars, Vol. 1: The Princess of Mars / The Gods of Mars (Paperback)
ERB explicitly states that Carter's son by Dejah was hatched from a very large egg-shell which she shows him with maternal pride. I say, Gentlemen prefer mammals. That make me a speciesist?
