London (Charmian Kittredge) [Mrs. Jack London]. Jack London and Hawaii.
London: Mills & Boon, (Copyright 1918, but slightly later). Cheap edition. Blue-green boards, spine ruled and lettered in black. Some yellowing of pages at edges, but a nearly fine copy in a slightly worn pictorial dust jacket, with art by H. Riley. Red lettering on the spine of the jacket is faded away, and there is a chip from the upper spine and some short tears along edges, but the jacket is basically complete and quite attractive. Laid in is a check drawn on The Bank Of Hawaii, dated 1916, made out to Emma Strange for $50, signed by Jack London. Emma Strange was the mother of Harry Strange, who worked for the Honolulu Gas Company, and who London was acquainted with. They are both mentioned in the book "Jack London and Hawaii" which was published by Mills & Boon in 1918; however, this cheap edition offered here contains only the first half of that original edition, which was an illustrated volume published in a larger format; the remainder of the book was published by Mills & Book as: Jack London in the South Seas, and it is in that later volume that Emma and Harry Strange are mentioned. An interesting association, with a check signed by London.
