About This Item
New York: The Macmillan Company, 1905. Henry Hutt. First edition. The second issue with Rubber stamped on copyright page "Copyright, 1905, by the Metropolitan Magazine Co." A story about a twenty-year-old boxer Joe, who meets his death in the ring. London was a sports reporter for the Oakland Herald and we assume he based the novel on his personal observations. The book is very good with minor wear and rubbing on corners and spine ends, and small stain or offset on front pictorial pastedown. Top edge gilt. Lacking dust jacket.
Synopsis
Many patterns of carpet lay rolled out before them on the floor two of Brussels showed the beginning of their quest, and its ending in that direction; while a score of ingrains lured their eyes and prolonged the debate between desire pocket-book. The head of the department did them the honor of waiting upon them himself or did Joe the honor, as she well knew, for she had noted the open-mouthed awe of the elevator boy who brought them up.
