If you are like me, you love wonderfully bound editions of your favorite books. The Dorset Press editions are reasonably priced and very collectible. To guide you in your buying decision I'm showing how you're likely to find the same volume priced elsewhere. All of these are either brand new or like new; in any event they have not been read.
John Griffith "Jack" London (born John Griffith Chaney, January 12, 1876 – November 22, 1916) was an American novelist, journalist, and social activist. A pioneer in the then-burgeoning world of commercial magazine fiction, he was one of the first fiction writers to obtain worldwide celebrity and a large fortune from his fiction alone.
Some of his most famous works include The Call of the Wild and White Fang, both set in the Klondike Gold Rush, as well as the short stories "To Build a Fire", "An Odyssey of the North", and "Love of Life". He also wrote of the South Pacific in such stories as "The Pearls of Parlay" and "The Heathen", and of the San Francisco Bay area in The Sea Wolf.
Average Market Price $22.00; Our Price $7.00

Please Read These Notes:
- Unless a seller can make reference to an era when describing an item as "vintage"(e.g. vintage 1930's hat) it's useless prattle. We use the term sparingly but for those who like it, we'll throw it in now and then.
- We do not use a "standard shipping" rate for books as many dealers do. That term usually means they've inflated the shipping charge; this, in turn, marginalizes the bargain you thought you were getting.
- If you wish to make an offer please note that, by default, the system will not include the shipping in your offer. In other words, your offer is treated as if it includes both the price you are willing to pay for the item AND the shipping. You can calculate the shipping on the item's page; please add that amount to your offer for the item.
- We are happy to combine orders to save you on shipping charges
- If you have additional information about an item or wish to share your knowledge of a particular item, we'd be delighted to hear from you.
- The grading system used by many sellers to describe their books can be, despite best efforts and intent, subjective and often disappointing. You'll only find high quality material here: most are new or like new. Occasionally, there's minor shelf wear or a publisher's remainder mark, but the integrity of the book's condition is unaltered.
- Our shipping charges do sometimes include costs for packaging supplies but are modestly incorporated in the shipping charge; there is no such thing as handling or processing. Most other shippers charge you more for media mail .
- FEEDBACK: Most welcomed, but please contact us if you are unhappy with your purchase. We have a return policy and will gladly resolve any issue to your satisfaction.
- BOOKS THAT ARE NOT RECENTLY PUBLISHED: A book described as new but published several years ago is a reference to its condition; meaning that the book has never been used but may have minor wear from long term storage.
We DON’T CHARGE FOR BOOKS TO THE MEN AND WOMEN SERVING IN THE ARMED SERVICES . You will only be responsible for the shipping.
- REFUNDS: In general: no fuss, and no problem. Items must be returned in the original condition within 10 days of receipt. Items that have been removed from their original sealed wrap (CDs, Books, etc that were in blister packs) will be credited at 80 % of item’s price
- LOSSES AND DAMAGE WHILE IN TRANSIT: We highly recommend insurance and can provide it through Shipsaver and a rate below charged by the postal service. For items over $100.00 we will purchase insurance for you at no cost. You must notify us of any loss immediately however.
- INTERNATIONAL BUYERS PLEASE NOTE: We are very appreciative of our international customers and realize that your costs are higher. We will do our best to help you with that disadvantage, often by discounting the item's price. We will not, however, falsify customs forms by stating that the item you have won is a gift or by stating its value at a fraction of what it really is. Please expect to have to pay customs charges and any related fees. We do not know the customs charges in your country and are in no way responsible for them. Additionally, packages can be held up in customs and take longer than expected for arrival. Unfortunately, we have no control over that.
- Shipping costs often vary based on destination. We offer both standard and priority services. We recommend Standard Parcel Post in the interests of economy.
- Free stuff: a minimal amount is added to shipping to cover packaging.
- Please be sure you have read these statements and only purchase if you agree with them.
- Be among the first to see new items and don't miss out on some neat deals; subscribe to our booth.
Thanks so much for your understanding
