Jack London, March 11, 1914." With custom cloth jacket with leather spine label, cloth slipcase with leather edges. Second issue according to BAL and Woodbridge, with the tipped-in title page; Merle Johnson, however, states that the title page was always on a stub, or at least all the copies he examined.
