| Description: |
| Gilt-lettered green cloth, top page edge stained black (as issued). First Edition, First Issue. |
| Steinbeck's scarce second book. First issue with spine imprint reading "Brewer/ Warren/ Putnam" on the foot. Though now one of the most popular of Steinbeck's three early books, it was not well received by the public when it was first released. The first edition had 2500 sets of sheets printed, of which 1650 copies were bound, but only 650 copies sold. The remainder of copies were sold to Ballou in 1932. Goldstone & Payne A2a. |
| Condition: |
| Spine a bit faded, slightly leaning; faint offsetting to free endpapers; else very good or better. |
