Lot Description
LONDON, Jack (1876-1916). White Fang. New York: The Macmillan  Company, 1906. 


8vo. Half-title; 8 color-printed plates by Charles Livingston Bull. Original grey pictorial cloth stamped in white and black, spine gilt-lettered (some very slight rubbing to corners, tiny bump on bottom edge of upper cover); quarter morocco folding case. Provenance: A. M. S. (signature, 1907). 

FIRST EDITION, with the title-page a cancel on laid paper.  Woodbridge and BAL identify copies with the cancel title-page as the second issue, though Merle Johnson states he knows of no copies with an integral title-page. Intended as a companion piece to The Call of the Wild, White Fang is the story of a savage part-wolf dog who is domesticated through the kindness of his owner. BAL 11896 [calling for cancel title-page on either laid or wove paper, no priority]; Woodbridge 46.
