A superb factual account of poverty in early 20th century London as seen through the eyes of the American writer, Jack London. The electronic version in the universal PDF format is particularly good value at just $1.95 but traditional book-lovers may prefer the competitively-priced paperback version ($16.55). The book's font size and layout have been carefully chosen to make the book easy to read.
