Octavo, 231pp., plus advertisements. Illustrated by Philip R. Goodwin and Charles Livingston Bull, with decorations by Chas. Edw. Hooper. A crisp, clean, very nice copy in the publisher's decorative freen cloth, stamped in gilt, black, red, and white. Some gentle, even fading to the white pigment on both the front board and spine, the bottom corners lightly bumped, but still sharp. Very near fine, with strong inner hinges and no markings, but for a tiny contemporary bookseller label to the front paste-down. Lacking the rare dust jacket. A pleasing, gift-quality example.

Published in 1903, The Call of the Wild is a novel by Jack London. The story is set during the Klondike Gold Rush and follows a domesticated dog named Buck, who is stolen from his home and sold into the brutal life of an Alaskan sled dog.
