1912126831912. Illustrated by P. J. Monahan. New York: The Century Co 1912. Original blue-grey cloth pictorially decorated in black and cream. First Edition of this loosely-connected series of tales about a tenderfoot journalist who goes to the Klondike in search of gold and in his efforts to prove himself to the girl he loves undergoes a series of dangerous adventures. There was a humanity and a relaxation in his Smoke Bellew stories and they sold well in book form. Gone was the myth of Alaska the sense of a superman pitting himself against necessity and the unknown. The deeds of daring of the hero from Harvard were often tongue-in-cheek more Twain than Melville. Sinclair SMOKE BELLEW was the first book published after his string of titles based upon the Pacific voyage of the "Snark"; he wrote this thereafter while he and Charmian were settled into their "Beauty Ranch." Jack was still recovering from some of the diseases he had incurred on the trip and was increasingly relying upon alcohol to assist him. SMOKE BELLEW was also the first of several London titles published by Century: along with his drinking he was developing a sense of suspiciousness and superiority which led him to mistrust Macmillan and seek out another publisher -- a decision he quickly regretted since Century would prove to have much less patience or understanding with him. This is a handsome nearly fine copy just a hint of cover soil but essentially no wear; atypically the cream-colored moon on the front cover is quite bright and unrubbed. The pictorial cover is by Decorative Designers. Sisson & Martens p. 66; Blanck 11939. <br/><br/> hardcover 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. Sisson & Martens p. 70; Blanck 11945. unknown books
