‎HEARTS OF THREE‎

‎1920. New York: The Macmillan Company 1920. Original maroon cloth. First American Edition which consisted of only 4990 copies. HEARTS OF THREE was published four years after London's death and two years after it was published in England. Like his two late books about dogs this was hackwork necessary to raise cash which he wrote in Hawaii during his final year. The last long novel of his life HEARTS OF THREE was a sorry business a piece of romantic trash that bore no mark of Jack's style at all. It was the first time he had been asked to "novelize" a screenplay. In fact HEARTS OF THREE was a serial adventure story of fifteen episodes written by the screen­writer of "The Perils of Pauline" and "The Exploits of Elaine." To ask an author of Jack's quality to flesh it out was an insult and an indignity. He wrote it because the Hearst Sunday supplements bribed him with $25000 over and above his regular contract with Cosmopolitan. He thought the book would have a large sale; it was so badly done that in fact it failed. Sinclair "Romantic trash" or not it is a Jack London title and a none-too-common one at that. This is a remarkably bright copy fine except for the slightest of wear at the spine tips. Quite uncommon thus. Sisson & Martens p. 104; Blanck 11982. <br/><br/> hardcover books‎

‎JERRY OF THE ISLANDS‎

‎1917. New York: The Macmillan Company 1917. 8 pp undated ads. Original orange-brown cloth with dog silhouettes in black. First Edition of this posthumously-published book about a dog written by the author while stretched out on Waikiki Beach. In early 1915 Jack and Charmian left California for Hawaii plagued by financial problems he owned and owed mortgages on six houses for himself and for his dependents -- yet the financial problems were not so bad that the two of them couldn't have four or five servants in Honolulu. The only way out of the financial problems was through hackwork. He decided to set off for Hawaii with Charmian and to write two new dog stories. They had never failed him. The market would lap them up. The leisured life in Honolulu did not encourage him to write well and his two dog novels were no more than competent products for the market. JERRY OF THE ISLANDS was the worse with its hero a thoroughbred Irish terrier specially trained for n-word-chasing. Yet this hackwork did keep his head above water. Sinclair This is a very good-plus copy with very minor soil and rubbing; the front paste-down bears a "News Co." ink-stamp. Sisson & Martens p. 94; Blanck 11973. <br/><br/> hardcover books‎

‎JOHN BARLEYCORN‎

‎1913. Illustrated by H.T. Dunn. New York: The Century Co. 1913. Original very dark green cloth. First Edition first issue with only one blank leaf at the rear other than the endpaper. This was London's "confessional book" a fictional but quite autobiographical tale that Jack wrote to exorcise his shame -- which bore witness to the fear behind Jack's renewed and excessive drinking. The prohibitionists had cleverly used the universal terror of syphilis to urge the crusade against the saloon. Only after a man had too much to drink -- the propaganda said -- would he pick up a woman and a disease to blight the home. With his secret fears about contamination by disease or alcohol Jack provided in JOHN BARLEYCORN the best ammunition that the drys had ever been handed by a major writer. JOHN BARLEYCORN was sensational as the history of a man who drank too much yet who claimed to hold his liquor. Its author only hinted at the psychological and physical fears that made him a heavy drinker and while the book overstated the deprivation of his youth it understated the internal disturbances and agony in his kidneys which drove him to the stupor of the bottle. "The only trouble I may say about JOHN BARLEYCORN" he wrote in 1913 "is that. I did not dare put in the whole truth." The truths he omitted were. the connection between his drinking and early whoring on the waterfront his horror that Charmian's loss of her child might have resulted from a taint in his blood due to the mixed poison of alcohol and residual disease.

‎LOVE OF LIFE and Other Stories‎

‎1907. New York: The Macmillan Company 1907. 4 pp undated ads. Original dark blue cloth decorated in gilt and cream. First Edition consisting of 7973 copies of this collection of eight tales. He needed the money badly for he had overspent his income to satisfy his various desires. As well as paying for his ranch and his growing number of dependents he was beginning to squander a fortune on building a boat called the "Snark" for his seven years' voyage. He returned to panning out a living from Alaska in the stories collected in a volume with "Love of Life." His confidence in his own tenacity was shown in that extraordinary story of man's will to survive at all costs. Yet the instability of his long sickness also appeared in "The Sun-Dog Trail." In that underestimated story of a man and woman bent on vengeance against another man the reason for action is hidden and the white silence of the north is as ambiguous as it is murderous. Reality and appearance willpower and dream are all confused in a last reckoning. Sinclair As always the title leaf is a cancel. This is a bright near-fine copy minor damage to the front endpaper.
