(Modern Fiction First Editions) Annual Jack London Birthday Banquet / David H. Schlottmann: The Wolf '74: Stapled wraps. David H. Schlottmann, Olympia, WA. 1974. 1st Edition, 1st Printing. Near Fine
This is a thin trade sized booklet with illustrated cardstock covers and a stapled spine. The book is in Near Fine condition and was issued without a dust jacket. There is some very beginning fading to the spine joints of the book covers. The text pages are clean and bright. Laid in is a typed errata slip. The back inside cover has a card pocket adhered, with a facsimile of the Jack London story: A Northland Miracle which was originally published in the Youth's Companion (November 4, 1926). This booklet includes the winners of the writing competition held yearly by the Jack London Foundation - the winners are invited to the annual birthday banquet. This booklet was given to attendees of the banquet (not sure how long The Wolf lasted) . "David Schlottmann has been attending the foundation’s banquets, held every year around London’s Jan. 12th birthday, since its founding in the 1970s and puts out an annual newsletter tied to the Sonoma event. The retired accountant from Olympia, Wash. , also is a collector, combing auctions, antique stores and eBay for whatever he can find. He has been in pursuit of Jack London since 1966 when, as a teenager, he shelled out $15 for a bibliography of London works, the start of a lifetime of collecting. He has several canceled checks signed by London and a shelf of three-ring binders filled with more than 500 different custom first-day covers of the 25-cent Jack London postage stamp. It was first issued in Glen Ellen in 1986 thanks to the dogged efforts of the ultimate London fan, Russ Kingman." (from the Sonoma Press Democrat May 27, 2016) #40901 $25
