Hi All-- I've never seen any compilation by Burroughs
entitled that. A quick google revealed multiple ERB
bibliographic sites; I checked several, and found no
instances of "chronicle" anywhere, unless it happened to
mention Bradbury's book. The only instance that came up on
www.bookfinder.com for author "Burroughs" and title "Martian
Chronicles" was to a single listing for "Gods of Mars, The -
Martian Chronicles, vol. 2", a 1979 Ballantine paperback.
That subtitle was never used for earlier Ballantine
editions--I know, 'cause I had most of them.
Can you point me to a bibliographic reference that might give
the publisher?
Metta, Ivan
