#OldCoolBooks #Princeps Published in 1913 , It is a autobiographical novel if you will, of Jack London and alcoholism.I remember seeking it out because, I don‘t think it was in print at the time.In those pre internet days before you could find every book on the planet in minutes.Plus , you gotta love a book that uses the term “dipsomaniac” in the first chapter.🍸🍺🥃🍷Cheers!But in moderation please.
Linsy Sometimes I still like to search my bookshelves for information, even though I know the Internet could offer it to me faster. 6y
Leftcoastzen @Linsy Me too! I kept many reference books and love to have them spread out on a table or desk browsing through all of them . 6y
jveezer I just did that today: coulda just googled a cooking conversion but looked in the back of the same cookbook I used before the internet instead. 6y

Leftcoastzen @jveezer Not to say that books are never wrong but how many times do you look up something on the internet and know it‘s wrong. 6y
jveezer @Leftcoastzen haha. Especially the weather! 6y
Bookwomble I love this book of London's - so personal and true, at least emotionally if not literally. 6y
