[Charles Agvent]

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. 		$1,500.00
