Indeed it did these books provided me with an escapism on long, boring train journeys, many moons ago.
Thank you for writing this upI realised how much of the stories I had retained, which just needed prompting. I also think JK Rowling must have read The Chessmen of Mars before writing her first Harry Potter novel!
I am done with my subbing duties - just awaiting your OK to return it to the Eds for proof read/final polish

Thanks, GB. Just one suggestion:
"During the stories at least two other lost white-skinned races are uncovered. John Carter's white skin allows him to disguise himself as a Thern very easily."
It would make more sense if these two sentences were swapped around, with the one about John Carter coming first.

Done
Subbing is being more of a pain at the moment due to the new security feature, us having to prove we're not a robot when clicking update on an entry that's not ourshowever, I can update yours without this feature appearing
It happens when I'm logged in as editor too.

That Cloudfare security Captcha appears for me every time I change any of my own entries in Alabaster. It only appears sometimes in Pliny.
