    Usually the best research tool can be eBay itself. After this comment, I actually tried out the Terapeak search function in the right hand column, and it showed that there is currently one copy of a Jack London 1958 Dell paperback first edition iin good condition listed at the moment for $3.99 with no bids and three days to go.
