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

Holder: 3-5/8" x 6-7/8" <br/><br/>"The Bohemian Club is a private club with two locations: a city clubhouse in the Union Square district of San Francisco California and the Bohemian Grove a retreat north of the city in Sonoma County. Founded in 1872 from a regular meeting of journalists artists and musicians it soon began to accept businessmen and entrepreneurs as permanent members as well as offering temporary membership to university presidents notably Berkeley and Stanford and military commanders who were serving in the San Francisco Bay Area. Today the club has a membership of many local and global leaders ranging from artists and musicians to businessmen." Wiki <br /> <br />While signed checks by London appear on the market with some regulartity this particular document payable to the exclusive San Francisco men's club of which he was an honorary member gives it a certain cachet providing a tangilble connection between this vaunted author & his local upper-crust colleagues & peers though some might say membership in such an elite club somewhat belies his literary efforts to secure worker's rights et al.
