DS, two pages, 8.5 x 13, December 14, 1914. Contract between Burroughs, the “author and owner of a manuscript entitled The Return of Tarzan,” and the A. C. McClurg publishing company in which they agree on terms to “print and publish said manuscript in book form…and to sell the same at a retail or catalogue price of One Dollar and thirty cents.” In fine condition, with expected document wear. The Return of Tarzan was just the second in Burroughs’s long series of books featuring the title character, first serialized in New Story Magazine in 1913 before being published by A. C. McClurg in 1915. The popular book was soon adapted for the screen; first in 1920 as The Revenge of Tarzan, and again in 1921 as The Adventures of Tarzan. A highly desirable document concerning the early publication of Burroughs’s iconic character. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
