The Burroughs Bibliophiles is a non-profit literary society dedicated to stimulating interest in and preserving the works of the great American author, Edgar Rice Burroughs:  “The Grandfather of American Science Fiction.”

The Burroughs Bibliophiles is an international organization with headquarters at the Burroughs Memorial Collection in Louisville, Kentucky, where the magazine and newsletter are published and where the board of directors makes plans.

The official publications of the organization are The Burroughs Bulletin - a glossy magazine published quarterly -- and the Gridley Wave -- a monthly newsletter.

The Bibliophiles hold an annual convention in a different location each year. They have christened this event a “Dum-Dum,” named after the meetings of the anthropoid apes described by Burroughs in his Tarzan novels. 

A complete history of the Bibliophiles by George T. McWhorter is featured in ERBzine 0148
Membership and contact  information is found at the bottom of this Web page.

GEORGE McWHORTER'S BURROUGHS BULLETIN 

Burroughs Bulletin #82: Spring 2010 
Special Issue: George McWhorter Farewell and Tribute to Original BB Founder: Vern Coriell



CONTENTS (compiled by ERBzine)
Notice from Editor George McWhorter:
I regret to report that this is my last issue of The Burroughs Bulletin as editor. My twenty-year stint as editor has enriched my life considerably, and the list of friends made along the way is awesome. But I shall not withdraw completely from the production end of The Burroughs Bulletin and will continue to provide formatting, graphics, and mailing of the magazine. Henry G. Franke III will become our new editor with BB#83, and we have been working together to make a smooth transition without bumps. The Chairman of the Burrougths Bibliophiles Board, Laurence Dunn, has written a gracious letter of farewell which is found on page 34. Thank you, Laurence, for your kind words!

Meanwhile, I exit on an upbeat in the Burroughs universe, with new films, books, and artwork testifying to the permanent establishment of Edgar Rice Burroughs as a major literary figure on the international scene. Fifty years ago I wasn't sure the recognition would come, but now I know it is fact.
