London, Jack.

THE GAME.

New York: The Macmillan Company, 1905. First edition, second issue with "Copyright, 1905, by the Metropolitan Magazine Co." rubber stamp on copyright page. Story of twenty-year-old boxer, Joe, who meets his death in the ring. Illustrated by Henry Hutt. London was a sports reporter for the Oakland Herald and we assume he based the novel on his personal observations. Very good with minor wear and rubbing on corners and spine ends, and small stain or offset on front pictorial pastedown. Top edge gilt. Lacking the scarce dust jacket.
