Caesar's birth in the original Planet of the Apes films was a result of the time travel at the core of that story.

Drawing deeply from the Tarzan novels and the Apes films, Seeley and Walker run Caesar and the Lord of the Jungle through the enslavement of the apes, through a century of war, and through the center of the earth.

    First Edition Library was formed to create as exact a duplicate of the original first edition of famous American books like The Great Gatsby or The Grapes of Wrath. They went so far as to even commission ink or type be created to replicate an edition if that color or font was now extinct. Besides classics, they also produced twelve editions of science fiction. Tarzan of the Apes, originally published in 1914, was one of these and one of the more famous (copies in fine condition have been sold for five figures). The FEL editions also feature a sturdy slipcase, usually replicating the dustjacket. This is a first edition, identified by the FEL colophon on the rear inside dust jacket flap and the explanatory text block on the copyright page. Special mention should be made of the cloth boards: they exactly replicate the first edition in every detail, down to the spine's A.C. McClurg identification not having the acorn between the A and C, the special maroon cloth and the two embedded framing lines on the cover surrounding the gilt title and author credit. Hardcover novel limited to 2500 copies. Book measures approx. 5 1/4-in. x 7 1/2-in. Slipcase measures 5 3/8-in. x 8-in.
