PBA Galleries to Auction Jack London Collection
Published September 9th, 2008
A collection of books, letters, and manuscripts by American writer, Jack London, “The Author with the Sales,” is bound for the auction block at PBA Galleries on September 18th, 2008. A rugged outdoorsman, adventurer, and self-proclaimed socialist, Jack London packed more into his forty years of life than most do in twice the span. He wrote constantly, his stories appearing in countless magazines and newspapers across the globe, and translated into many languages. His writings produced some fifty major books, both novels and compilations of stories, and his popularity was such that he was acclaimed for being the first author with sales of $1,000,000 during his lifetime.
