OUT OF TIME'S ABYSS
by
Edgar Rice Burroughs
from
Urbanite ~ Vol. 1, No. 10 ~ April 4, 1924
Until now this article has been long sought after by ERB fans.
I have recently retrieved it from my father's archive and it is presented here as a fine example of 
my grandfather's sense of humor and of his very colorful past. We've displayed it in text format 
accompanied by full-sized scans of the actual pages.

It is with great pride that I share a rare special booklet from 1863, 
written by my father's namesake -- John M. Coleman --
during the darkest moments of those darkest of times in our nation's history.

Part 3 of a series of features on John Coleman's Novel
Treasure of the Black Falcon
Al Hanson's Gridley Wave Review & Fan Letters
JCB's last novel, Treasure of the Black Falcon, was published by Ballantine Books, Inc., March 1967.
It had been written twenty years earlier but was shelved and forgotten after numerous rejections. 
During the Burroughs boom of the '60s, however, brother Hulbert came across the manuscript and 
submitted it to Ballantine Books where it was eagerly accepted.

ERB Discusses Books & Collecting
Correspondence between Edgar Rice Burroughs and Herbert Hungerford of
"The American News Trade Journal."
These letters lead up to an article by my grandfather in which
he expresses his love of books and the collecting of books, 
as well as his views on book marketing. 
He also shares entertaining anecdotes about his early years as a bookstore owner 
in Pocatello, Idaho and as a door-to-door book salesman in Chicago and Oak Park.

A special collage that JCB created and sent to longtime ERB fan 
Sgt. Frank E. Shonfeld of the British Army on April 21, 1941. 
This was done at the request of ERB, then living in Hawaii, 
to show his appreciation for Shonfeld's support over the years.

The collage features some of the major ERB characters that JCB had illustrated:
Tarzan ~ John Carter ~ Dejah Thoris ~ Tars Tarkas ~ David Innes
The dedication on the artwork reads:
"Best Regards and Lots of Luck
to Sgt F. E. Shonfeld
from John Coleman Burroughs 4-21-41"
