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."
