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. TITLE : The Jungle AUTHOR : Upton Sinclair (Upton Beall Sinclair, Jr. 1878 - 1968) IMPRINT : Upton Sinclair PLACE : Pasadena, CA DATE : 1942 EDITION : Paperback Reprint STATUS : This edition OP - Scarce. I have found no other copies of this edition for sale on line. PROVENANCE : Once part of a U. S. Navy Library (with VOID stamp); thence to a private individual. DETAILS : Trade paperback; 413 pages , plus three pages of publisher’s promotional ads; 5” x 7 1/4”; printed gray wraps, glued, with text printed in black; promotional text about “The Jungle” on front and back. No lettering on spine. CONDITION — GOOD ONLY — The book has seen considerable use and displays the effects of the use, with the following noted : EXTERIOR - The covers display a good deal of finger smudging, corner creasing, and general moderate weathering; text-block edges are darkened. BINDING - Tender. There is splitting fore and aft at the foot of the spine; there is evidence of mending neatly effected to cover attachment; no leaves are detached or loose. INTERIOR - The aforementioned Navy Library stamp on the recto of the first leaf (with Void also stamped); two inked signatures and one set of initials, plus a date (1947). One signature reads Frederick Alexander Kaiser, SCD 2/7/47. Second signature is Fred --- (illegible); initials are FK/bb - likely the same Frederick Kaiser.
