Burning Daylight

by London, Jack

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.

First Edition Identification

The Macmillan Company of New York first published Burning Daylight in 1910. First editions contain 8 Illustrations by W. Morgan, including the frontispiece as well as seven inserted plates. First editions also have "Macmillan" imprinted at bottom of the spine.

Other Collectible or Notable Editions

In 1911, Heinemann published the First British edition of Burning Daylight. Copies of this edition are bound in maroon cloth and stamped in black and gold.
