Description
"A Princess of Mars" by Edgar Rice Burroughs, illustrated by Frank E. Schoonover, is a classic science fiction novel first published in 1917. This edition was published by Grosset & Dunlap in New York. Although the copyright page states it was published in October 1917, the specific printing of this copy cannot be confirmed as a first edition.

This hardcover edition features the original illustrations by Schoonover, adding to its historical and aesthetic value. The book is an early example of the planetary romance genre, blending adventure and speculative fiction. The condition of this copy reflects its age, with noticeable wear and binding issues, but it remains a significant piece for collectors interested in early science fiction literature.
