All of these books are from ACE Books, with original cover prices ranging from .40 to .60 cents. All of these books are solid. meaning no loose pages and no significant tears. There may be a few stray marks here or there, a handful of page corners being folded and the like. They are better than the average vintage paperback of their vintage, but do have some signs of age and wear, I have priced accordingly.

Note: All edition dates are based upon the book points as described by Robert B. Zeuschner's "Edgar Rice Burroughs - The Bibliography".
