1907136181907. 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.

First Edition consisting of 8400 copies preceded only by a pre-publication copyright issue. Probably the best-known story in this collection is "Planchette" -- in which the spirit of a woman's dead father returns to kill her lover; it showed that Jack had evidently not outgrown his mother's belief in evil spirits. By the time MOON-FACE came out Jack had journeyed to the Far East to cover the Russo-Japanese War for the Hearst organization -- at which he tried to emulate the Great White Scribe of the period Richard Harding Davis. He badly injured an ankle on in a leaping game with the other correspondents on board ship: "It was the beginning of a morbid worry about his physical condition a long anxiety that would end only with his death" Sinclair. He returned to California to discover that his wife had attached his Hearst earnings in her suit for divorce Bess ultimately agreed to a divorce on the grounds of desertion after he offered to build a home in Piedmont for her and their two daughters. This is a bright near-fine copy light rubbing at the extremities -- of this handsomely-bound book. Sisson & Martens p. 28; Blanck 11895. <br/><br/> hardcover books

1914126851914. London: Mills & Boon 1914. 432 pp ads. Original dark green cloth. First English Edition. This tale serialized as "Sea Gangsters" involves a mutinous voyage around Cape Horn. London hoped to explain his own "Snark" voyage's failure by laying the blame on Anglo-Saxons' problems with the tropics per the theories he had read in Woodruff's EFFECTS OF TROPICAL LIGHT ON WHITE MEN. Jack wrote THE ELSINORE soon after he and Charmian returned from his "Millergraph" trip to New York City; their five-month return was on the clipper ship "Dirigo" out of Baltimore around Cape Horn in mid-1912. His last acts on shore were to shave his head bald and to have a photograph taken of himself standing by Poe's grave. Since there was no alcohol on board Jack went through withdrawal from his dependence upon it and proclaimed that he was not an alcoholic -- though Charmian knew that would last only until the pain in his kidneys and bowels would again become unbearable.Sinclair Jack with major gastrointestinal problems of his own watched the ship's captain slowly die of stomach cancer during the voyage. Charmian became pregnant again but soon after they arrived back in Glen Ellen she miscarried -- confirming Jack's fear that he would have no son and heir for the ranch. And so began Jack's new "period of disgust." This is the English edition bearing the same 1914 date as the New York edition but published four months later in January 1915 and containing the same dramatic color frontispiece. The reason the American edition has a detailed colorful binding and the English one does not is that England was already at war. Excepting that the volume is slightly askew this is a fine copy.
