Burning Daylight

"Burning Daylight" by JACK LONDON. 1910 1st edition, 1st printing; The Macmillan Co.; New York. The book contains a frontispiece and seven other full-page illustrations. From a review: "Burning Daylight is the story of an adventurer who journeys to Alaska to find his fortune. After returning to the lower 48, he is cheated out of his money and recovers it only at gunpoint. He soon embarks on a self-indulgent lifestyle, drinking, gambling and womanizing his way into misery. However, he finds love and soon tries to reverse his profligate ways." The book was one of the best selling titles in 1910, and London's best-selling book in his lifetime.
