1915L02594875 ad pages with 20 photo plates including frontispiece. Small octavo 7 1/2" x 5 3/4" issued in light blue cloth decorated and lettered in gilt. inscribed by Charmain on front end paper. First Edition.<br /><br />Charmian Kittredge London November 27 1871-January 14 1955 was Jack London's second wife. After divorcing Bess Maddern London in 1904 London married Charmian Kittredge the following year. Biographer Russ Kingman called Charmian "Jack's soul-mate always at his side and a perfect match." She was the author of several books about her life with Jack London: The Log of the Snark Our Hawaii and The Book of Jack London. The last is considered by scholars to be an important but flawed source of biographical information on London: Clarice Stasz calls it "an uneven account that omits Jack's illegitimacy yet has surprisingly frank information nonetheless concerning his personality." Their relationship became the subject of a book Clarice Stasz' American Dreamers. The couple had no children who survived them. One died soon after being born and another pregnancy ended in a miscarriage. Shortly after the death of Jack London Charmian had an affair with Harry Houdini. A PBS source cites an Houdini biographer saying: Most of the evidence of their affair convincingly reconstructed by Houdini biographer Kenneth Silverman comes from brief entries in Charmian's diaries. They saw each other over several weeks early in 1918 while Charmian was living in New York where Houdini was starring in the patriotic World War I extravaganza "Cheer Up." Charmian wrote that after they saw each other a few times Houdini made a "declaration" that "rather shakes me up." They became intimate a short time later. She wrote that one visit by Houdini had "stirred me to the deep" and that he apparently felt the same declaring "I'm mad about you" and "I give all of myself to you." Throughout she refers to him alternately as "Magic" her "Magic Man" or "Magic Lover." As intense as it apparently was their attachment did not last long. Charmian the "New Woman" whose marriage to London had included open sexual experimentation never stopped seeing other men.<br /><br />Condition:<br /><br />Inscription to front end paper.

First edition first printing with "Published 1915" on copyright page. The British edition preceded the U.S. edition. The British edition was deposited in the British Library 4 August 1915 and was listed as "ready" in Athenaeum 7 August 1915. The U.S. edition titled THE STAR ROVER was published by Macmillan in October and a copy was received by the Boston Athenaeum 14 October 1915. The story of a university professor who murders a colleague and is put into solitary confinement at San Quentin where he learns via self-hypnosis to explore his previous incarnations. "Possibly the most curious of London's novels. . Some of the phantasmagoric episodes have considerable power. The book reveals an unexpected side of Jack London. Not only was he the victim of poverty in his youth as his concern for social justice might suggest he was the illegitimate son of a spiritualist and an astrologer." - T. Collins in Smith ed Twentieth Century Science Fiction Writers 1981 p. 343. "The book could be placed in the same sub-genre as Arnold's PHRA THE PHOENICIAN Armour's SO FAST HE RAN Mason's THE THREE GENTLEMEN and others. Historical fiction almost always means a novel set in a single continuous period. The device of following a soul's reincarnations through different periods affords the author a new dimension of character development. It also lets the writer concatenate short historical fictions employing more variety of background while maintaining the genre's usual sense of 'sweep' -- not with a horizontal exploration through space but a vertical exploration through time shifting the focus from the society to the individual." - Robert Eldridge.

Poster produced by the Huntley Street Squatters who were located at 1-9 Huntley Street in Bloomsbury. In addition to being the center of the London Squatters Union the Huntley Street squat was home to more than 150 squatters and 32 children who occupied the building in 1977-78. The mansion block owned by Camden and Islington Health Authority had lain empty for two years and quickly became a focus for the squatters' movement in London. Led by Piers Corbyn the squatters set up a café hosted festivals and even set up an office which helped to re-house the homeless. After 17 months 300 police officers with bulldozers converged upon the building and evicted all who lived there.

4496Each of the five mounted photographs is preceded by a protective sheet of tissue paper in tact though wrinkled. The five photographs show a group of luminaries in the following fields: "Politicians Conservative" "Politicians Liberal" "Authors and Novelists" including Charles Dickens Wilkie Collins Thomas Carlyle "Science" including Charles Wheatstone Michael Faraday "Artists" including J. M. W. Turner John Everett Millais and Edwin Landseer. The page preceding the last group photograph of English Artists indicated that a second volume was anticipated "early in 1877." The artists' page has separated from the spine as has the first copyright page which is chipped along margins creased and missing upper left corner. The pages are securely held together at the spine even though they have lost their cover. The albumen plates are somewhat light as might be expected. Various degrees of foxing throughout chipped corners of the photographic boards. Overall condition is fair to good. A fascinating assemblage of 19th century English culture. unknown books
1913127081913. New York: The Century Company 1913. 1 page undated ads. Original light green cloth decorated in dark green and black with dust jacket. First Edition of London's prizefighting tale about "a white backwoods giant who would rather read Browning than slug his opponents" Sinclair prompted by his coverage of the Johnson-Jeffries fight in Reno. The very title of this book indicates London's preoccupation with the concept of the "brute" which underlies the social behavior of men and animals alike. London had recently left Macmillan in a dispute over royalties but would find Century to be much less patient or understanding; he ultimately had to beg his former publisher to take him back. THE ABYSMAL BRUTE includes a frontispiece by Gordon Grant. This copy is in the second binding state which is identical to the first except for color and is in fine condition. The three-color pictorial dust jacket shows a man carrying a rifle with a buck slung over his shoulder; this jacket is near-fine with a couple of small chips at the top corners of the spine not affecting print.
