Each book is signed and numbered [edition of 300] and features spectacular full-color illustrations – stunning works by some of the best ERB artists past and present. In addition to BACK TO THE STONE AGE you will receive an original printing plate from the book!
BACK TO THE STONE AGE has been printed the same way ERB books were printed 50 years ago – only better. A master printer has used the original plates to letterpress print on premium paper which has been sewn and cased into a vintage-style binding, and covered in a dust jacket produced by Phil Normand with art by John Coleman Burroughs.
Each limited edition book is numbered individually and certified with six original signatures.
Each book also comes with a beautifully illustrated map of Pellucidar – inspired from several maps created over the last 50 years.
The book, dust jacket and the plate comes housed in a custom clamshell presentation box.

Now this is interesting! We know about some frozen water on the red giant, but turns out there there might be water in liquid form as well! NASA’s Curiosity rover has uncovered new evidence:

The water in the Martian soil seems to gather intermittently and is a very salty brine, making it perhaps suitable for everyone’s favorite retro pet — sea monkeys!
