Canaveral Press

Canaveral Press was a New York-based publisher of science fiction and related material, primarily in the 1960s, owned by Jack Biblo and Jack Tannen. Most Canaveral Press titles were reprints of Edgar Rice Burroughs material on which the copyright had lapsed, but Canaveral was on good terms with the Burroughs heirs, and several Canaveral Burroughs titles are legitimate first editions of material not previously published in book form and in some cases not previously published. Canaveral also published original material by E. E. Doc Smith, L. Sprague de Camp and Catherine Crook de Camp, and by Richard A. Lupoff, who edited much of the Burroughs material. A number of Canaveral Press titles were reprinted in the 1970s.

Canaveral Press is noted for bringing some of the great illustrators of the 1960’s to the Burroughs material—notably Roy G. Krenkel, Reed Crandall and Frank Frazetta.
