‎SMOKE BELLEW‎

‎1912. Illustrated by P. J. Monahan. New York: The Century Co 1912. Original blue-grey cloth pictorially decorated in black and cream. First Edition of this loosely-connected series of tales about a tenderfoot journalist who goes to the Klondike in search of gold and in his efforts to prove himself to the girl he loves undergoes a series of dangerous adventures. There was a humanity and a relaxation in his Smoke Bellew stories and they sold well in book form. Gone was the myth of Alaska the sense of a superman pitting himself against necessity and the unknown. The deeds of daring of the hero from Harvard were often tongue-in-cheek more Twain than Melville. Sinclair SMOKE BELLEW was the first book published after his string of titles based upon the Pacific voyage of the "Snark"; he wrote this thereafter while he and Charmian were settled into their "Beauty Ranch." Jack was still recovering from some of the diseases he had incurred on the trip and was increasingly relying upon alcohol to assist him. SMOKE BELLEW was also the first of several London titles published by Century: along with his drinking he was developing a sense of suspiciousness and superiority which led him to mistrust Macmillan and seek out another publisher -- a decision he quickly regretted since Century would prove to have much less patience or understanding with him. This is a handsome nearly fine copy just a hint of cover soil but essentially no wear; atypically the cream-colored moon on the front cover is quite bright and unrubbed. The pictorial cover is by Decorative Designers. Sisson & Martens p. 66; Blanck 11939. <br/><br/> hardcover books‎

‎THE ABYSMAL BRUTE‎

‎1913. New York: The Century Company 1913. 1 page undated ads. Original light green cloth decorated in dark green and black with dust jacket. First Edition of London's prizefighting tale about "a white backwoods giant who would rather read Browning than slug his opponents" Sinclair prompted by his coverage of the Johnson-Jeffries fight in Reno. The very title of this book indicates London's preoccupation with the concept of the "brute" which underlies the social behavior of men and animals alike. London had recently left Macmillan in a dispute over royalties but would find Century to be much less patient or understanding; he ultimately had to beg his former publisher to take him back. THE ABYSMAL BRUTE includes a frontispiece by Gordon Grant. This copy is in the second binding state which is identical to the first except for color and is in fine condition. The three-color pictorial dust jacket shows a man carrying a rifle with a buck slung over his shoulder; this jacket is near-fine with a couple of small chips at the top corners of the spine not affecting print.

‎The Call of the Wild‎

‎New York: The Macmillan Company 1903. First Edition. Fine/Fine. First edition first printing of the author's best-loved work. Bound in publisher's ribbed green cloth decoratively stamped; top edge gilt. A fine copy with previous owner name to half-title page and trivial rubbing to cloth at extremities and a tiny nick to the edge of the front board. In a Fine dust jacket with faint toning to spine and a tiny mark to the rear panel and spine. A fantastic copy but more importantly an honest copy with no restoration or funny business: the offsetting from white "snow" of boards onto verso of dust jacket suggesting this copy has not been married to its jacket a sentiment echoed by the freshness of the book itself. Housed in a custom quarter-leather folding case. The Macmillan Company unknown books‎

‎The Call of the Wild.‎

‎New York: The Macmillan Company 1903. First edition of one of the most desirable classics in American literature. Octavo original pictorial green cloth pictorial endpapers top edge gilt. With 18 full-page color illustrations by Philip R. Goodwin and Charles Livingston Bull. Association copy inscribed by the author on the half-title page "To Elinor Glyn:- My most popular but my own heart goes out to some <span class="match">of</span> my sociological screeds. Jack London Mar. 1 1911." The recipient Elinor Glyn was a British novelist and scriptwriter who specialized in romantic fiction which was considered scandalous for its time. Her first book The Visits of Elizabeth was published the same year as London's first book. She later moved to California and became one of the first female writers of movie screenplays. She popularized the concept of the It-girl and had tremendous influence on early 20th-century popular culture and possibly on the careers of notable Hollywood stars such as Rudolph Valentino Gloria Swanson and especially Clara Bow. In near fine condition with light shelfwear. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. Signed first editions of this classic title are scarce. The Call of the Wild is "one of the first American novels to examine the quest of the pioneering individual who breaks away from the sheltered environment of civilization and is romantically compelled to find freedom in nature. In the early part of the century this was considered the American dream" Parker 16. Named by Modern Library's as one of the 100 greatest novels of the twentieth century.

The compact size was specifically designed and printed for soldiers because they fit easily into a cargo pocket of a uniform. Easy to carry easy to read. Normally the paperbacks were passed around and shared between individuals and units so much so they commonly were tattered ripped in half or destroyed.
