LONDON, JACK. BEFORE ADAM. New York: The MacMillan Company 1907.
First Edition. Decorated cloth. Illustrated with eight color plates
and text drawings by Charles Livingston Bull. INSCRIBED and SIGNED by
the author to J. W. Speare "with compliments" and dated Glen Ellen,
Calif. 29 December 1909. A small (2-1/8" x 1-5/8") original
photograph of London is pasted to the front pastedown opposite the
inscription on the front endpaper. Ink in inscription a little light,
likely right from the time of its creation as London has gone over a
few letters in his last name. The rear endpaper and the last leaf of
ads (of three) lacking. Cloth somewhat dingy but decorations and
lettering on cover very strong and spine somewhat less so. In a
fairly old specially made cloth slipcase. A Good or better copy in a
Very Good slipcase. $1500.00
