Soft cover. Etat : Good. 5th or later Edition. Here is the 1942 paperback reprint edition of "The Jungle" by Upton Sinclair, was published by Upton Sinclair himself. This particular copy of the famous novel was in a U. S. Navy Library and has a stamped notice, in blue, which reads "S.I.T. PROPERTY OF U. S. NAVY No. __ " Over this is stamped (in the same blue) VOID. I have determined that the initials S.I.T. stood for Storage In Transit. Aside from this there is, on the same page, the signature in ink of an individual, dated 2/7/47. This individual also initialed the page and added a second rather illegible signature at the top. We've shown this page (see provided picture). The book has seen considerable use and shows that use by the finger smudging on the cover. There is evidence that some mending was done to the cover attachments. The title page and text are clean and free of marking.

Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. 1st Edition. This is the First Edition of "The Pot Boiler, a Comedy in Four Acts" by Upton Sinclair. Mr. Sinclair originally wrote the play in 1913, and it may have been performed then, but publication in book form did not happen until Haldeman - Julius issued it as Little Blue Book No. 589 in 1924. This is one of the few cases of a major author's book appearing as a First Edition in the series. It's a very good specimen. Upton Sinclair received the Pulitzer Prize for his 1906 novel, "The Jungle".

This novel embraces the period from the Wall Street Crash of 1929 to the Nazi Blood Purge of 1934. Wm. Schuman, Professor of Political Science at Williams College said "There is nothing I have read, in prose or verse, fiction of fact, which has impressed me so vividly with the realities of National Socialism. Sinclair's pictures of the Nazi leaders are superb, and he has almost achieved the impossible in catching the spirit and atmosphere of the movement." As the noose of history pulls tighter, the men and women of Sinclair's imagining grow in maturity and power, and the readers of his story - wherever they may choose to pick up the thread - gain a new perspective on the world through which they lived and are living. A 1943 PULITZER PRIZE NOVEL! From Goodreads.
