3 posts | 3 read | 5 to read
Jack London books by SeaWolf Press were selected for sale by the Jack London Museum.A beautfiul version with the first edition cover. This edition is part of the 100th Anniversary Collection honoring the 100th anniversary of Jack London's death in 1916. In his short 20-year career, he produced more than 50 books. The text and illustrations in this collection are taken from his early publications and the covers are replicas of the first edition covers. Fonts common 100 years ago are used--Century for the text and Bembo on the cover. The book's original format is matched as much as possible.ORIGINAL ILLUSTRATION: A lengthy story that mirrors Jack London's own life journey from Oakland that ended at his dream house in Glen Ellen, California, The Valley of the Moon is an intriguing view into life in California at the turn of the 19th century. A working class couple, Billy and Saxon Roberts, leave their city life in Oakland behind to find a better life in the country. They visit an artist colony in Carmel before moving north to the Valley of the Moon.

Visiting Jack London‘s “Beauty Ranch” (state park) in Sonoma County. His book Valley of the Moon was set here. It‘s a gorgeous place!

TheBookHippie Wow!! 2y
Karisa @TheBookHippie I learned so much about him! His wife was a writer too, they traveled the world bringing their record player, they built their dream home at Beauty Ranch (looks like castle ruins) only to have it burn down just before moving in, he died there at the ranch at age 40… 2y
TheBookHippie @Karisa It‘s so fascinating and how sad about the ranch. I love history. 2y

Procrastireader One of the things I loved about Oakland was being able to say, "I'm going to catch the ferry at Jack London Square." 8y
