ERB
What is ERB? It is the initials of EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS!! He is mostly
remembered for the TARZAN books, but also for the MARS series and the VENUS
series, and many individual novels. I have tried to represent some of these
works with these tiles, to varying degrees of success in my opinion. However,
enjoy!!! The following is an explanation of some of the more obtuse tiles.

arms.
