[[ASIN:193445107X John Carter's Chronicles of Mars]
It is wonderful to reread books from one of the masters of early science fiction, Edgar Rice Burroughs. Though somewhat simple and even a little childish by todays sci fi standards, this author was no doubt one of the creators of the fantasy style of sci fi novels along with Tolkien. And here in this collection are probably the five best of the series of Carter stories. No doubt film producers are looking carefully at these stories with an intention of bringing them to the big screen. Unfortunately the recent effort 'Princess of Mars' was a very poor effort so dont buy it.
I gave this 4 out of 5 because the product is near newsprint quality but then for this cost its still well worth the money

Edgar Rice Burroughs (creator of Tarzan) wrote this complete sequence of five novels in the 1930's/40's and they were way ahead of their time. This is a big compendium (book size 11" x 8.2") and is action packed from beginning to end with many innovative and clever ideas. This is as good as many of the latest books for pure action without the need to plough through pages of the hero's thoughts.Enjoy.

I'm not english so i won't write a lot here. Please, forgive my poor English
Let's just say this book is ok in terms of purchase quality, it was in perfect state and whatnot. BUT, it is the worst compillation edition i've ever seen in my life.
I was looking for a compilation of as many of the Burroughs' Barsoon books as i could get and so i ordered this book here. But i should mind the dimensions of it, since it looks more like a school book than a piece of literature. My recommendation to anyone interested in the Barsoon Series (or John Carter of Mars' Series) is to look for a different edition, this one is the most "unreadable" one if ever had in my hands.
I think that's all.
PS: Apart from all this crap, the seller is totally trustworthy. I'll probably buy from them again in the future.
