Soft cover. Condizione: Good. No Jacket. Cover credited to H.W. McCauley and J. Allen St. John / Interior B&W illustrations by J. Allen St. John (illustratore). 1st Edition. This vintage, large 8vo pulp magazine is intact, complete, "good-plus." would grade higher save for two small holes to top left of front wrap near the letter "f" -- they don't penetrate into the text block, but look almost as though someone contemplated punching holes for mounting or storage in a binder. Marvelous color cover illustration credited to BOTH H.W. McCauley and J. Allen St. John, which is unusual. This issue also includes Robert Leslie Bellem's "Robots Can't Lie" and William P. McGivern's "Doorway of Vanishing Men." Calling Burroughs' 36-page story "Goddess of Fire" a "novel" is a bit of a stretch -- in fact it's the second of four interlinking stories (following "Slaves of the Fish Men", preceding "The Living Dead" and "War on Venus" -- published sequentially in Fantastic Adventures 1941-42, later fixed up into the Carson Napier science fiction / fantasy novel "Escape on Venus" (1946.)

Though scholars have long disparaged Edgar Rice Burroughs, he remained a popular writer into the twenty-first century, suggesting that critical reappraisals are overdue. Dozens of his novels remain in print, and numerous enthusiasts keep publishing meticulously researched books and articles about his fiction. He displays powerful virtues as a mythmaker, capable of creating memorable heroes and persuasive imaginary worlds. While the jungle hero Tarzan is his most famous character, Burroughs also produced celebrated science-fiction novels, Westerns, historical novels, and adventures set in contemporary times.

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. No Jacket. Roxana: The Fortunate Mistress by Daniel Defoe, first published in 1724, is a provocative and psychologically complex novel that explores themes of identity, morality, and survival in 18th-century England and Europe. The story follows Roxana, a beautiful and intelligent woman who, after being abandoned by her husband and left destitute with five children, chooses to become a courtesan in order to survive. As she moves through various relationships with powerful and wealthy men, Roxana rises in social and financial status, adopting different personas along the way. Despite her apparent success, the novel delves into her inner turmoil, guilt, and the societal constraints placed on women. Defoe uses Roxana's story to comment on gender roles, economic dependence, and the tension between virtue and self-preservation. The novel stands as one of Defoe's most daring and morally ambiguous works, alongside Moll Flanders.

Paxton, it seemed, was valuable to that master mind as an apprentice because he would have no loyalties to interfere with the work he was called to do. For Ras Thavas' weird experiments involved transplanting the brains of ape and man, and of beauty and hag. But Paxton was an Earthman similar to John Carter, the Warlord of Barsoom, and Paxton realized that he had to undo the evil he had helped to create. The story of Paxton's fight to right the wrong done to a lovely woman is a Burroughs Mars novel that ranks with the best:- (original cost $0.40).

"Tiger Woods' swing mechanics - super-efficient, fundamentally sound, and built from the best elements of such legendary golfers as Ben Hogan, Jack Nicklaus, and Arnold Palmer - enable him to generate the power to consistently drive the ball well over 300 yards, farther than anyone currently on the Tour. In The Tiger Woods Way, John Andrisani, a regular contributor to Golf Magazine, shares his discovery of the secrets of Tiger's flawless swing technique to help golfers of all levels learn how to increase their driving distance and improve their game. Drawing from his independent study and analysis of Tiger Woods' game and personal insights shared by Claude "Butch" Harmon, Jr., Tiger's teacher, and others, John Andrisani offers detailed, easy-to-follow instuctions on Tiger Woods' swing in four simple chapters: Getting Ready For Action: Explains Tiger's unique setup position, which borrows key elements from Jack Nicklaus' and Ben Hogan's own techniques; Building Power: Shows you how to increase the resistance between your upper and lower body to help you make Tiger's powerful takeaway action your own; Unleashing Power: Outlines Tiger's ideal impact body-and-club position to enable you to hit solid shots consistently; Iron Power: Reveals the fundamentals of Tiger's iron swing to allow you to hit the ball stiff to the flag." - from the rear outer jacket. "Tiger Woods is electrifying golf the way Michael Jordan did basketball and Wayne Gretzky did hockey. Woods' breathtaking drives off the tee are the basis of his game, and in The Tiger Woods Way John Andrisani gives you the one guide that golfers need to make Tiger's dynamic and powerful swing their own. John Andrisani, a regular contributor to Golf Magazine, reveals the fundamentals of Tiger's technique in easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions. Andrisani explains the key elements of Tiger's: Unique Setup Position, outlining his ball position, grip style, stance style, clubface aim, and shoulder alighment; Tremendous Backswing, with tips on how to maximize the turn and swing on a wide arc like Tiger; Powerful Downswing, with suggestions on how to accelerate the club in the impact zone to achieve more power. Also included are simple drills to help you put these elements together, exercises for developing the muscles involved in the swing, and instruction on Tiger's iron-swing technique to give your approach shots more punch. Complete with full-color photographs of Tiger in action and detailed illustrations of his key techniques, along with commentaries by top professional golfers and instructors, John Andrisani's The Tiger Woods Way will enable golfers to transform their game by learning from the man who transformed the game." - from the inner front jacket flap.
