Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. No Jacket. This VG- book has "Federal" on the spine but "Street & Smith" on the title page; I have no idea how common that situation is. The exterior is square, with signs of wear. Specifically, bumped corners and head and heel of the spine, all with slight fabric damage; toning of the spine; and a general over-all light bit of soiling. Nothing serious, just an accumulation of issues. The interior has the FFEP neatly and cleanly removed and the half-title page is heavily browned(see photo); the rear end pages are lightly browned. Otherwise, the interior is clean and free of writing, stray marks, stains of any sort and any page damage; pages are very flexible and seem to be free of toning. A part of an interesting series by a young Sinclair Lewis, before "The Jungle" was written.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. No Jacket. This VG- book published by McKay is square, with signs of age and wear. Specifically, bumped head and heel of the spine, toning and light staining of the spine, and a stained lower front corner; but the two splotches of gilt in the sky of the front panel illustration are intact and rather impressive. The interior has a very neat calligraphic inscription on the FFEP (see photo). Other than that, the interior is clean and free of writing, stray marks, stains of any sort and any page damage; pages are very lightly tone but very flexible. A part of an interesting series by a young Sinclair Lewis, before "The Jungle" was written.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. No Jacket. This VG- book has "Federal" on the spine but "Street & Smith" on the title page; I have no idea how common that situation is. The exterior is square, with signs of heavy wear. Specifically, bumped corners and head and heel of the spine, with small fabric tears; toning of the spine such that the publisher's name is hard to read; and a general over-all light bit of tanning probably made visually worse than it really is because of the light colored binding. Nothing critical, but an accumulation of issues. Both the front and rear end pages are lightly browned. Otherwise, the interior is clean and free of writing, stray marks, stains of any sort and any page damage; pages have light toning but are very flexible. A part of an interesting series by a young Sinclair Lewis, before "The Jungle" was written.

Upton Sinclair wrote half-dime novels under two pseudonyms, Fitch and Garrison. He used Ensign Clark Fitch for the Clif Faraday stories (also known as the Annapolis series) written in 1897-98 under three different series titles: Army and Navy Weekly, Half Holiday and True Blue. This character also appeared in novelettes for the Columbia Library series, parts of which were republished with various changes in at least seven other series including David McKay's "The Boys' Own Library." This title is part of the McKay series. There were three publishers for the Fitch titles: Street & Smith, Federal Book Co (a subsidiary of Street & Smith) and David McKay. There were five books in the Fitch/Annapolis series, all published in 1903. Very Scarce. (Sources: Gottesman. Upton Sinclair An Annotated Checklist; U. of S. Florida.
