LONDON, Jack. Collection of First Editions. 49 volumes. Original pictorial cloth. Generally fine to very fine condition.   price upon request

We are pleased to offer a collection of all [except 1] of Jack London’s major works in first edition, all in first issue printings and first issue bindings. Includes the rarest and scarcest of London’s books. The titles range from London’s first published book, The Son of the Wolf (1901) to his last full-length novel (1920), as well as his three extremely scarce plays. Also included are a few peripheral works and a small archive of letters signed by Jack and Charmian London. Price (and further information) upon request.

All the items are written and addressed to their friend and personal dentist, Dr. Granville E. Shuey. These items have never been published. Dr. Shuey often went sailing with Jack and Charmian; a few letters to Dr. Shuey are known but none have ever been offered at auction in the last thirty years.
