With one frontispiece and 10 color one page illustrations. 2 pages of adverts at the end of the book. ""This is a story about friendship, loyalty and the rediscovery of the wilderness and the pristine nature. It was written by Jack London in 1903 (as his first novel) - and is now considered as one of the best American novels ever written."" (National Geographic) At the end of the 19th century, 'Buck' a dog lives in the Santa Clara Valley south of San Francisco. One day, he is kidnapped by his owner's gardener due to gambling debts and taken to the Klondike region of Alaska as a sled dog, where he fights his way to the top of the sled dog pack. As events unfold, the ‘call of the wild’, the ancient heritage of his wolfish ancestors, reaches him more and more. After many adventures with constantly changing sled guides, Buck is rescued by John Thornton. The two become an inseparable couple; he loves Thornton and rescues him from a raging river. After the death of his last master, the dog, who now has no more ties to humans, answers the call once and for all and joins a pack of wolves and become their leader after some fierce battles. The book is in near fine condition except the white paint (snow) on the front board is miniscule rubbed and the spine ends shows little signs of wear. The red custom-made quarter-leather slipcase has little rubbing at the edges of the spine. A book in an absolutely collectable condition that is regarded as London's masterpiece.

The Kempton-Wace Letters Unstated (Jack London and Anna Strunsky) [Very Good] [Hardcover]

The Kempton-Wace Letters Unstated (Jack London and Anna Strunsky) [Very Good] [Hardcover] 535.18 CAD First Edition, First Issue (without the authors names on the title page and with three pages of ads at the rear, also SD and 'Set up and electrotyped May, 1903' on the copyright page). This book was previously owned by the author, biographer, and literary critic Maxwell Geismar, although he did not write his name in the book. I bought a good number of his books some years ago. I currently have ten listed for sale, books that were signed and inscribed to him by their authors, and books that were written by him which he signed and inscribed to his wife Anne. Mr.Geismar edited and wrote the Introduction to a book titled Jack London: Short Stories which was published in 1960. He appears to have read The Kempton-Wace Letters while preparing for his work about Jack London. The majority of pages in this book have red penciled lines and parentheses at the margins and some have red penciled underlining. There are also a small number of instances where he wrote a word or two on the margin of a page. I imagine for some collectors and/or scholars his markings will provide an added interest, while for others any markings would be viewed as a negative. I have chosen to price the book quite inexpensively. The lowest price on the Internet for a first edition, first printing of this book is currently $750.00. You can see the covers in the photos. The illustrated design on the front is in very good condition. There are a few small spots of soiling on the front and the rear. The white lettering on the front is very bright. On the spine, which is toned, the gilt lettering is still quite visible, both for the title at the top and the small letters of the publisher's name at the bottom. As you can see there's a little rubbing and wear at the spine ends. There are only tiny spots of rubbing at the corners, the two front ones have a speck of rub-through. The edges are in very good shape. The bottom ones have several tiny spots of color loss, each also has one speck-sized spot of rub-through. The middle and bottom page edges are deckled or rough-cut. The binding is decent. There is a space between the rear side of the front end paper and the half-title page and between two pairs of facing pages in the text, but all of these pages are tightly bound from top to bottom. There is a small tan spot near the top corner of some early pages, but overall the pages are very clean. Some early pages are cut shorter at the bottom, but perfectly even. I'm not seeing any corner creases. There are no attachments of any kind. 'The novel presents a discussion of the philosophy of love and sex, written in the form of a series of letters between two men, Herbert Wace, a young scientist, and Dane Kempton, an elderly poet. London wrote Wace's letters, Strunsky Kempton's. Kempton makes the case for feeling and emotion, while Wace analyzes love in Darwinian terms: 'I purpose to order my affairs in a rational manner. Wherefore I marry Hester Stebbins. I am not impelled by the archaic sex madness...
