The Oakdale Affair and The Rider is a collection of two short novels by Edgar Rice Burroughs.
 "The Oakdale Affair," a contemporary tale, was written in 1917 under the working title of "Bridge and the Oskaloosa Kid," and is a partial sequel to "The Mucker" (1914/1916), as Bridge, the protagonist, had been a secondary character in the earlier work.
 It was first published in "Blue Book Magazine" in March 1918.
 "The Rider," a Ruritanian romance, was written in 1915 and first published as "H.R.H. the Rider" as a serial in All-Story Weekly from December 14–18, 1918.
 The first book publication of the two stories brought them together in one volume as The Oakdale Affair and The Rider, issued by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc. in February 1937; the book was reprinted by Grosset & Dunlap in 1937, 1938 and 1940.
 Both works have since been published separately.
Edgar Rice Burroughs (September 1, 1875 – March 19, 1950) was an American fiction writer best known for his celebrated and prolific output in the adventure and science-fiction genres.
 Among the most notable of his creations are the heroic Mars adventurer John Carter, and Pellucidar (the world inside our world).
 And his most enduring creation - the jungle hero Tarzan - is fit to stand with d'Artagnan, Jeeves, Sherlock Holmes, and Superman as an archetype of the modern hero.
 Burroughs' California ranch is now the center of the Tarzana neighborhood in Los Angeles.
Tarzan and Jane (or Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan and Jane) is an American–Canadian computer-animated web series, produced by Arad Animation, 41 Entertainment and Arc Productions and is based on the 1912 novel "Tarzan of the Apes" by Edgar Rice Burroughs.
The Oakdale Affair is a short contemporary mystery novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs.
 It was written in 1917 under the working title of "Bridge and the Oskaloosa Kid," and is a partial sequel to "The Mucker" (1914/1916), Bridge, the protagonist, having been a secondary character in the earlier work.
 It was first published in "Blue Book Magazine" in March 1918.
 Its first book publication paired it with an unrelated tale, "The Rider," in "The Oakdale Affair and The Rider", issued by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc. in February 1937 and subsequently reprinted by Grosset & Dunlap in 1937, 1938 and 1940.
 The story's first independent book publication was in a paperback edition from Ace Books in July 1974.
 Subsequent hardcover editions were issued by Buccaneer (1977) and Ameron; a subsequent paperback edition was issued by Charter (1979).
 Most editions omit the original ending, consisting of the last 174 lines of the magazine version, though the Buccaneer and Charter editions restore it.
Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc. is an American company founded in 1923 by author Edgar Rice Burroughs.
 It is based in Tarzana, California.
 The company holds the rights to the literary works of Burroughs that are still protected by copyright (a number of Burroughs' early works have passed out of copyright and consequently are in the public domain).
Pirates of Venus is the first book in the Venus series (also called the "Carson Napier of Venus series") by American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs, the last major series in Burroughs's career (the other major series were Tarzan, Barsoom, and Pellucidar).
 It was first serialized in six parts in "Argosy" in 1932 and published in book form two years later by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc. The events occur on a fictionalized version of the planet Venus, known as "Amtor" to its inhabitants.
The Lad and the Lion is an adventure novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs, written in February 1914.
 His working title for the piece was "Men and Beasts."
 It was first published as a three-part serial in "All-Story Weekly" in the issues for June 30, July 7, and July 14, 1917.
 The story was the first by Burroughs adapted to film, as a five-reel black and white silent movie released by the Selig Polyscope Company, premiering May 14, 1917, roughly simultaneously with the print serial.
 Despite this distinction, the story did not appear in book form for over twenty years.
 Only after the film was remade as "The Lion Man" (1936) was the first book edition published, by Burroughs's own publishing firm, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc., in February 1938.
 The text was apparently expanded for book publication, as certain incidentals of the story reflect the political situation of Europe in the late 1930s rather than the mid-1910s.
 The book was reprinted by Grosset & Dunlap in 1939 and Canaveral Press in 1964.
 The first paperback edition was issued by Ballantine Books in September 1964, with a second appearing from Ace Books in May 1974, reprinted in June 1982.
I Am a Barbarian is a historical novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs written in 1941 but was not published until after the author's death, first appearing in hardback on September 1, 1967 as published by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc..
 The book was originally to have been published by Canaveral Press.
 When Canaveral stopped adding titles to its catalog, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc. took up the project.
 It was the first book the firm had published since "Llana of Gathol", in 1948.
 "I Am a Barbarian" is one of only two historical novels Burroughs wrote.
 The other, "The Outlaw of Torn", set in the England of King Henry III, was published in 1927.
Graham Colin Swift FRSL (born 4 May 1949) is an English writer.

Carson of Venus is the third book in the Venus series (Sometimes called the "Carson Napier of Venus series") by American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs.
 Burroughs wrote the novel in July and August 1937.
 It was serialized in 1938 in six weekly installments from January 8 to February 12 in "Argosy", the same publication where the previous two Venus novels appeared.
 It was published in book form a year later from Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc. Burroughs originally submitted the novel to a number of the "slick" magazines: "Liberty", "The Saturday Evening Post", "Collier's", and "Ladies' Home Journal".
 All rejected the story.
