Scarce copy not found in this solid condition nor available. <br />Editions for the Armed Services Inc. was a non-profit established by the Council on Books in Wartime. The small reprints were handpicked by American publishers of General Trade Books librarians and booksellers specifically for American soldiers abroad during World War 2. The compact size was specifically designed and printed for soldiers because they fit easily into a cargo pocket of a uniform. Easy to carry easy to read. Normally the paperbacks were passed around and shared between individuals and units so much so they commonly were tattered ripped in half or destroyed. The Council on Books in Wartime even deemed the books ‘propaganda-like’ stating “books are weapons in the war of ideas.” Macmillan Company paperback books
191295361Chicago: Charles H. Kerr & Company Co-operative 1912. Octavo pp. 1-3 4-32 original cream pictorial wrappers printed in blue photograph of Debs on front panel. First edition first or early printing without "price" on front panel and with advertisement for "History of the Supreme Court of the United States by Gustavus Myers" on rear panel. Short story first published in INTERNATIONAL SOCIALIST REVIEW January 1909 later collected in THE STRENGTH OF THE STRONG 1914. ". a fine science fiction story as well as revolutionary tract in which for once London used an orthodox Marxist analysis to draw a picture of the future -- a future that is not merely a projection of tendencies already present in his day but is instead the outcome of as-yet-invisible forces that are the dialectical antithesis of the ones determining the reader's familiar existence. It is excellent science fiction that explores the social and human impact of a great scientific innovation the development of proletarian class consciousness. As a work of propaganda it is one the socialist propagandists have never tired of reading for it describes the future as the outcome of that very transformation of consciousness that is the goal of the revolutionary agitator" - Richard Gid Powers.

According to London Cloudesley Johns was the first person who ever wrote him about his work offering praise of the stories "To the Man on Trail" and "The White Silence" in the January and February 1899 issues of the Overland. The resulting friendship lasted until London's death see The Book of Jack London 1899 p. 277ff. "If Jack had no mentor but himself Cloudesley had Jack London - a pugnacious mentor who seldom pulled his punches. Jack's advice was born of his own experience and to Johns as to many other aspiring writers he gave of it freely. They met on several occasions. During London's writing of The Sea Wolf in 1903 Johns came up to Piedmont and the two men sailed up to the mouth of the Sacramento River on Jack's sloop Spray. There they played chess swam shot ducks and mudhens fished talked and wrote. 'The more I see of Cloudesley the more I like him' Jack wrote. 'He is honest and loyal young and fresh understands the discipline of a boat and is a good cook to say nothing of being a good-natured and genial companion'" Walker and Reesman p. 15.

1905135521905. With Illustrations and Decorations by Henry Hutt and T. C. Lawrence. New York: The Macmillan Company 1905. 6 pp undated ads. Original grey-green cloth pictorially decorated in white and brown. First Edition which consisted of 26420 copies. In this prizefighting tale Joe Fleming tries to convince his fiancée to accept his career by inviting her to watch him box a precursor to the "Rocky" movies: the fight blow-by-blow occupies almost the entire second half of the book. Jack had long cherished a cult of the perfect male body. He had pictures taken of himself in bathing costume flexing his muscles and shadowboxing. He took snapshots of George Sterling posing on the beach wearing nothing. Obsessive descriptions of male Anglo-Saxon strength grace and sexuality began to creep into his novels particularly THE GAME written in the summer of 1904. In that romance of prizefighting the hero expressed Jack's vanity about his own body -- his skin was fair as a woman's his face like a Greek cameo his stance a perfection of line and strength yet with a deep smooth chest and "muscles under their satin sheaths -- crypts of energy wherein lurked the chemistry of destruction." Sinclair This is a handsomely but oddly bound book with symbols of death and of fate on the binding on the endpapers and throughout the text. This copy has on the copyright page a hand-stamped two-line notice in type that is 3/32" tall some copies have it in smaller type and a few have no such notice -- precedence unknown though S&M speculates that copies with no stamp were first. This is a very good-plus copy with some rubbing at the extremities. Sisson & Martens p. 24; Blanck 11886. <br/><br/> hardcover books
