Boston: Houghton Mifflin , 1900. First edition. Hardcover. This is a spectacularly fine first edition of Jack Londons first published book. The striking binding is unique to the first, second, and some third printings (those bound before mid-November 1900) of the first edition, featuring slate-gray cloth boards with silver spine print, silver decoration at front cover corners and spine ends, and a silver belt that wraps around the covers and spine, serving as author panel on the spine and title panel on the front cover with print in reverse. The contents feature cream, laid-paper endsheets and a tissue-guarded frontispiece by Maynard Dixon. This copy is simply magnificent, in sparkling fine condition. The binding is flawlessly square, clean, bright, and tight, with sharp corners and vivid silver print and decoration. Slight wrinkling at the spine ends is the only trivial complaint. The contents are pristine crisp and bright with no previous ownership marks, no spotting, and no age-toning. What is perhaps a hint of dust soiling to the top edge of the text block shows only by virtue of contrast to the perfect fore and bottom edges. The book gives every impression of being unread. Disagreement persists regarding the precedence of four different identified binding states of the first edition. Here second printing of the first edition is presumed by virtue of a single dot preceding and a single dot following the ampersand in the publishers name at the base of the spine, as well as by a period instead of a comma following 1900 on the copyright page. (Reference: BAL, Woodbridge, and Sisson) Irrespective of printing, this is a remarkable copy by virtue of condition. John Griffith "Jack" London (1876-1916) was an archetypally American author and giant of early 20th century literature. London first tasted literary success in his late teens. After work seal hunting and in a jute mill, London won $25 for a Best Descriptive Article contest run by the San Francisco Morning Call. At the time he was laboring for ten cents an hour. Rejection slips and more manual labor followed before London broke into the literary marketplace. The roots of his success lay in the Klondike, where he spent the latter part of 1897 and early part of 1898. The experience yielded literary gold, rather than literal. London's early, highly successful books were based on his Klondike experiences. The first of these published books was The Son of the Wolf. A collection of short stories, it includes the following: The White Silence; The Son of the Wolf; The Men of Forty-Mile; In a Far Country; To the Man on Trail; The Priestly Prerogative; The Wisdom of the Trail; The Wife of a King; and An Odyssey of the North. All of these stories were previously published in the Overland Monthly and the Atlantic Monthly. This copy resides within a brown, four-sided cloth chemise nested within a matching brown cloth slipcase with dark brown leather spine featuring silver print and decoration. The slipcase spine is incorrectly dated 1909.
