Guide to John Carter of Mars, Book 1: A Princess of MarsA Princess of Mars is a science fiction novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs, the first in a series of books set on Barsoom (or Mars). Most of the books in the series star John Carter, often called John Carter of Mars, a Civil War veteran who is mystically transported to Mars.

Buy John Carter Book 1: A Princess of Mars in Hardcover or PaperbackThere are many different print versions of the John Carter of Mars series, especially A Princess of Mars, since it has entered the public domain in the U.S. and most other countries. While it would stand to reason that the text would be the same, many of Edgar Rice Burroughs books were edited, and even censored between various versions, so the content and quality can vary between publishers. In the end, though, the main difference between these volumes is the size and the cover, so you can choose based on your preference from a vintage pulp fiction style cover or a cover that says "I'm reading a classic work of fiction." Buy the John Carter Book 1: A Princess of Mars eBook for your Kindle, Nook, or other e-readerWhile free versions of these e-books are available (see below), I recommend shelling out the dollar or two, because the difference in quality between a commercial version and a computer-scanned-OCR e-book can have a significant effect on your enjoyment of the book. I used to opt for the free versions whenever they were available, but being interrupted in the middle of a sentence on every page to read garbled text that should be in the header and footer tends to interrupt your immersion in the story. So here are our recommended commercial versions of John Carter of Mars, Book 1: A Princess of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs:

Note: Because most free e-book files were generated by scanning old book pages and using OCR software, the quality of the text can be much lower than the paid versions (above). Free versions often suffer from typos, missing words or sentences, garbled text, and a lack of formatting or indexing. That is why if you can spare the nominal $1 or $2 fee for a commercial version, it is well worth it. Here are the best free versions we have found:
