The Doubleday cloth colour a bit darker than that of the Jungle Publishing Co. The Sustainer's Edition and the Doubleday decorations to the binding are the same except for the addition of the Socialist insignia stamped in black, of the globe with two hands joined across the image. Both volumes now housed in a morocco backed solander case with chemise for each volume. (8),413, (3 ads.); (8), 413 pp Both are very well preserved copies, the Jungle Publishing copy near as fine, the cloth in very pleasing state, the printing and illustrations on the upper cover well preserved and bright, the white printing on the spine panel somewhat mellowed away by age, the tips and edges all in quite pleasing condition; the Doubleday, Page copy showing a bit more of the white lost on both the cover and spine panel, the text-blocks, inner hinges and other aspects of the books are all very pleasing and in very good order. IMPORTANT FIRST EDITIONS OF BOTH ISSUES OF THE 1906 PRINTING AND PUBLICATION OF WHAT IS ARGUABLY UPTON SINCLAIR'S GREATEST BOOK. ONE OF THE TWO SIGNED BY SINCLAIR. One of the most influential American novels of all time: Sinclair's nightmarish story of the immigrant Rudken family precipitated a series of very successful legislative measures under Roosevelt and the federal government regulating the food preparation industry. Dedicated to the workingmen of America, Sinclair famously attacks the meat industry while displaying sympathy for socialism and empathy for the working poor. This tale of an immigrant in pursuit of the "American Dream" shows the corrupt nature of American society and the human consequences of the impersonal forces of capitalism. An important work in the history of public policy, American history and literature.<
