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.

192117120Pasadena: Upton Sinclair 1921. Reprint. Octavo 18cm. Printed buff wrappers; 891pp ads. Covers and text mildly toned; still a tight lightly worn copy of the unusual wrappered edition. Simultaneously reprinted in cloth by Sinclair; initially published by John C. Winston & Co. in 1915. Important early anthology of radical prose poetry and art chosen "from five thousand years of writings on the working man." Includes sources as diverse as Arturo Giovannitti and Eugene Debs to Habakkuk and Martin Luther. Sinclair's intention with this work was to create a "Socialist Bible" to be mass-produced and present in every American household and Winston's initial printing even included an issue in black limp pebble-grained morocco. In his introduction Jack London indeed refers to this as "a humanist holy book;" but as of this writing 2013 Sinclair's effort does not appear to have supplanted the Christian Bible -- despite years of looking we have yet to encounter a copy of The Cry for Justice in a hotel dresser drawer.

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
