The Bibliophiles got their start in 1947 when Vern Coriell, a traveling circus performer, founded The Burroughs Bulletin. Created with the blessing of Edgar Rice Burroughs himself, the Bulletin came to life as a small mimeographed fanzine -- the contents of which were belted out on an old typewriter perched on the hood of Vern’s car when he was on the road -- that was sent free to curious Burroughs enthusiasts. One of the curious was Vincent Starrett, the influential Chicago Tribune book critic, and his review brought in a flood of requests from around the world. By 1960 the readership had grown to such an extent that Vern and other fans, at the World Science Fiction Convention in Pittsburgh that year, decided to create an organized literary society, the Burroughs Bibliophiles; the Bulletin became the group’s official organ. The mission of the Bibliophiles, then as now, is to promote an understanding and appreciation of the great American author Edgar Rice Burroughs.
