Overall About Very Good. Collectible as a nice first edition copy of one of London's Alaska tales, the uniqueness of this piece actually lies between the cover and the title page: a tipped in Jack London check, signed by London, payable to E. Winship, dated May 12 1910; an ink inscription beneath the check by Eliza London Shepherd - London's older stepsister, who did much to raise him and who served as business manager for the London Ranch from 1910 until her death in 1939 (inscription is dated September 18th, 1932, at the Jack London Ranch, and is to Mr. & Mrs. W.W. Kerrigan); a rather lengthy full page ALS (autograph letter signed) from Eliza to the same Kerrigans, dated September 19th, 1932 at Glen Ellen, California (at the Ranch); and Jack London's now-famous Wolf's Head bookplate affixed to the front pastedown. Top provenance. L28
Sinopsis
Partially based upon the life of Oakland entrepreneur "Borax" Smith, Burning Daylight was Jack London's best selling book during his lifetime. The novel is set in the Yukon Territory in 1893, telling the story of an adventurer, nicknamed “Burning Daylight,” who went to Alaska and laid the foundations of his fortune before the gold hunters arrived. Burning Daylight was adapted for American films in 1914, 1920, 1928, and 2010.
