Jack London notebook
Manuscripts
Although this was originally Jack London's high school geometry notebook, London used it as a scrapbook after the original use. Most of the notebook pages have bits of paper glued onto them with quotes, lists of names (surnames, female names, male names, etc.), as well as lists of words in their vernacular such as "White Southern Vernacular," "Low Irish Vernacular," "California Spanish Vernacular," etc. Most of that material is typewritten but there is also handwritten material by London in the notebook. There are still several pages with mathematical equations in London's hand. Handwritten on the cover: "Jack London - Geometry" and "A.U.A.-'96."

Fish-work : the Bering Sea
Rare Books
"Now, at age 31, after fifteen years of working as a commercial fisherman, my childhood notions of the fishing life have been replaced with a reality that is less leisurely than I had imagined, but as rewarding as I had hoped. I began traveling seasonally to Alaska for fishing work as a teenager, and ended up working five summers as a salmon gillnetter in Bristol Bay and Cook Inlet. During that time, I was also studying photography in college. In 2002, with a degree in my pocket, I began looking for a way to merge the fishing and photography sides of my life. I wanted to find a way to use photography to share my commercial fishing experiences with people who perhaps never thought much about where that fish on their plate came from"--From introduction.
