THE OUTPUT OF EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS
David Bruce Bozarth
Copyright © 2001
The following spreadsheet collects, in a single view, the creative, serial, second serial, and hardback output of Edgar Rice Burroughs. Color Coding is IMPORTANT. Please note that Llana of Gathol, Escape on Venus, and Savage Pellucidar are presented as initially seralized--interconnected, but separately published novellas. These 12 stories were later collected as three novels; though the complete Savage Pellucidar volume was not released until 1963 which included the (then) unpublished novella of the same name.
See Tangor Responds WORDS AND WAGES for a spreadsheet illustrating Burroughs word counts over the years and a graph displaying initial income on each story. Note that after the mid-1930's ERB's income diminished dramatically and that the amounts shown for Escape on Venus and Llana of Gathol are the total income collected on the various story parts.
