About This Item
New York & London: Macmillan and Co LTD, 1910. Jock London (pseudonym for John Griffith Chaney, 1876-1916) grew up in poverty raised by a foster mother who was an ex-slave; his view of the world was relentlessly working-class and socialist. This manifesto was originally published in 1905, and reprinted several times. This is a Very Good Plus to Near Fine copy of the eighth printing. The title page has a cancellation: "Advance Copy For Review Not For Sale." Maroon ribbed cloth binding, ruled, with gilt titles on the spine. Clean text; 278 pages with 3 pages of publisher's adverts in the rear. The corners are mildly bumped; some faint "ghost" spots on the cover that may be from wax. Some offset on the endpapers, perhaps due to the missing dustjacket. In an archival plastic protector. Altogether an attractive copy. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Later Printing.. Hard Cover. Near Fine/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
