About This Item
New York: Barnes & Noble Inc, 1992. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 1st Printing Hard cover in fine condition with deep gray boards, maroon spine cloth, gold gilt spine lettering, and facsimile of author's signature on front board. Interior text block clean & tight; no writings, no markings noted. 1,062 numbered pages. Dust jacket in likewise fine condition; no price as per usual with reprint editions. * From 'A Note on this Edition,' ""From his first story-collection in 1900, until his death in 1916, Jack London published fifty books, including novels, stories, essays, social criticism, memoirs, letters and a play; an average of three books a year. Not only was he the most popular writer of his day - the first millionaire writer in history - he is still one of the bestselling American authors in the world. Yet less than half - twenty one - of his books are still in print. While there is no single complete collection of his works, anthologies abound. Most, unfortunately, are severely limited, generally concentrating on but a single aspect of London's prolific career. In this edition,, we are attempting to present not a complete view, but rather a well-rounded one: who Jack London was, his concerns, what he wrote about, what he thought, what he believed in. These stories have been exciting and delighting readers for nearly a century and will continue to do so as long as people crave great adventure.""
