BOOKS BY UPTON SINCLAIR Published by the Author, Pasadena, California Trade Distributors: The Paine Book Co., Chicago, [I]. The Brass Check A Study of American Journalism Who owns the press and why? When you read your daily paper, are you reading facts or propaganda? And whose propaganda? Who furnishes the raw material for your thoughts about life? Is it honest material? No man can ask more important questions than these; and here for the first time the questions are answered in a book. The first edition of this book, 23,000 copies, was sold out two weeks after publication. Paper could not be obtained for printing, and a carload of brown wrapping paper was used. The printings to date amount to 144,000 copies. The book is being published in Great Britain and colonies, and in translations in Germany, France, Holland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Italy, Hungary and Japan. Hermann Bessemer, in the "Neues Journal," Vienna: "Upton Sinclair deals with names, only with names, with balances, with figures, with documents, a truly stunning, gigantic fact-material. His book is an armored military train which with rushing pistons roars through the jungle of American monsterlies, whistling, roaring, shooting, chopping off with Berserker rage the obscene heads of these evils. A breath-taking, clutching, frightful book is 'The Brass Check.'" (Prices of all books, unless otherwise stated, cloth $1.20, 3 copies $3, 10 copies $9; paper 60c, 3 copies $1.50, 10 copies $4.50.

THE JUNGLE This novel, first published in 1906, caused an international sensation. It was the best selling book in the United States for a year; also in Great Britain and its colonies. It was translated into seventeen languages, and caused an investigation by President Roosevelt, and action by Congress. The book has been out of print for ten years, and is now reprinted by the author at a lower price than when first published, although the cost of manufacture has since more than doubled. "Not since Byron awoke one morning to find himself famous has there been such an example of world-wide celebrity won in a day by a book as has come to Upton Sinclair."—New York Evening World. "It is a book that does for modern industrial slavery what 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' did for black slavery. But the work is done far better and more accurately in 'The Jungle' than in 'Uncle Tom's Cabin.'"—Arthur Brisbane, in the New York Evening Journal. KING COAL A novel of the Colorado coal country. "Clear, convincing, complete."—Lincoln Steffens. "I wish that every word of it could be burned deep into the heart of every American."—Adolph Germer. Debs and the Poets: Edited by Ruth Le Prade, with an introduction by Upton Sinclair. A collection of poetry about Debs. Sylvia: A novel of the South. Sylvia's Marriage: A sequel. (Both in cloth only.) 100% A STORY OF A PATRIOT Would you like to go behind the scenes and see the "invisible government" of your country saving you from the Bolsheviks and the Reds? Would you like to meet the secret agents and provocateurs of "Big Business," to know what they look like, how they talk and what they are doing to make the world safe for democracy? Several of these gentlemen have been haunting the home of Upton Sinclair during the past three years and he has had the idea of turning the tables and investigating the investigators. He has put one of them, Peter Gudge by name, into a book, together with Peter's ladyloves, and his wife, and his boss, and a whole group of his fellow-agents and their employers. From Louis Untermeyer, Author of "Challenge," etc.: "Upton Sinclair has done it again. He has loaded his Maxim (no Silencer attached), taken careful aim, and—bang!—hit the bell plump in the center. "First of all, '100%' is a story; a story full of suspense, drama, 'heart interest,' plots, counterplots, high life, low life, humor, hate and other passions—as thrilling as a W. S. Hart movie, as interest-crammed as (and a darned sight more truthful than) your daily newspaper." THEY CALL ME CARPENTER: A TALE OF THE SECOND COMING Narrates how Jesus came to Los Angeles in the year 1921, and what happened to Him. To be published in September, 1922. THE CRY FOR JUSTICE An anthology of the literature of social protest, with an introduction by Jack London, who calls it "this humanist Holy-book." Thirty-two illustrations, 891 pages. Cloth, $1.50; paper, $1.00. "It should rank with the very noblest works of all time. You could scarcely have improved on its contents—it is remarkable in variety and scope. Buoyant, but never blatant, powerful and passionate, it has the spirit of a challenge and a battle cry."—Louis Untermeyer. "You have marvelously covered the whole ground. The result is a book that radicals of every shade have long been waiting for. You have made one that every student of the world's thought—economic, philosophic, artistic—has to have."—Reginald Wright Kauffman. THE PROFITS OF RELIGION A study of supernaturalism as a source of income and a shield to privilege. The first investigation of this subject ever made in any language. "You have put a lot of work into it and you have marshalled your facts in, masterly fashion."—William Marion Reedy.
