Have the ERB fans here learned about this yet?

"The Edgar Rice Burroughs 100 Year Art Chronology contains over 1,200 pages of material, spread over four volumes and includes 5000+ illustrations and 140,000 words. Its massive in scope and scale.

"Written by Michael Tierney who worked closely with and was officially sanctioned by all the people at Edgar Rice Burroughs Inc. to bring this massive project to life.

"The ERBAC is as much an narrative history of ERB's publications as it is a visual history. Michael Tierney has combed the archives and gathered together a vast treasure trove of art, from pulp covers, to interior art, from novels that range on both sides of the Atlantic to the vast array of comic books that sported ERB's amazing creations. He's taken these and woven them into a discussion that explores the many facets of the various industries and Burroughs' place within them."

Also available at AmazWAN.

The author is a comic-book retailer in Little Rock. Although I don't actually know the guy, I have met him a couple of times at his shop. I had not known that he was working on this project.

It's $250 at Amazon and $71 at the link above...but only available in PDF format. I am interested but not at that price (Amazon) and not as PDF. I wonder if it will have all the Frazetta art or if it's just lesser known and public domain type things.

At 5,000 illustrations, I think it's pretty comprehensive. It was a Kickstarter deal -- I am curious but the price is just more than I'm willing to pay, no matter how comprehensive. And really, this volume works very well as a "best of the best" and is dramatically cheaper. It's absolutely beautiful --

I have this one, and agree it's pretty great. IIRC it does short-change Jesse Marsh a bit though. As in, I don't think he's even mentioned. :)
