There is darkening to the groove on the front board and a light stain in the upper right corner. Light wear overall. It comes with a new professionally printed facsimile dust jacket. This is a facsimile of the correct dust jacket, with Viking blacked out on the spine and MacMillan printed over it. The front flap has the Viking name and address at the bottom blacked out also.

Description: One-page TYPED LETTER SIGNED in full in ink to Mrs. Holman [Zena Holman, wife of Wilfred Rensselar Holman of the historic Holman's Department Store in Pacific Grove, CA], responding to her question about the release of THE GRAPES OF WRATH on 5 April 1939 after it was scheduled for release on the 14th by Viking. Evidently bookstores began selling them earlier, and she has written him directly to ask if she can. Steinbeck writes: "I don't know why they have these release dates which no one keeps anyway. Apparently this book is being sold all over the state. And if one store does it I can't see any reason for others not to." She must have inquired about a pamphlet she saw in San Francisco that was being sold. "Enclosed is probably the pamphlet you speak of. I did not know that it was being sold or anything about it except that a few were sent me by Viking. As to the one in San Francisco you speak of, I have never heard of it." The pamphlet Steinbeck sent--JOHN STEINBECK. PERSONAL AND BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTES by Lewis Gannett, published by Viking in 1939, 14 pages--is included here with the letter. With the envelope.

End pages and paste down pages display "Battle of Hymn of the Republic" -- image is still bright. It took Steinbeck just 100 days to write this modern classic. He gave himself a 10,000-word per week goal and told a friend he'd never worked so hard on a novel before, hoping to shred his "reader's nerves to rags." Collectors frequently strive to enrich their legacy libraries by acquiring first editions of contemporary classics. These initial printings are prized for encapsulating the authentic essence of a novel's inception, presenting the text in a format untouched by subsequent revisions or alterations. This pursuit allows collectors to obtain the most genuine version of a novel, preserving the original nuances and quirks, even errors, by the author. For instance, first editions by literary figures such as Mark Twain, Bill Clinton, and J.K. Rowling often feature errors that were later corrected in subsequent printings, deviating from the unique characteristics of the initial impression.

Description: 202 x 130 mm. (7 7/8 x 5 1/4"). 3 p.l., 619 pp. Attractive red morocco by Sangorski & Sutcliffe for Asprey (stamp-signed in gilt on front and rear turn-ins), covers with single gilt rule, raised bands, gilt ruled compartments, gilt lettering, all edges gilt. Goldstone-Payne A12.a. âSmall, unobtrusive stains at spine tail, half title and one text leaf each with a tiny repair along top edge, a half dozen insignificant marginal stains, but an extremely appealing copy showing only the most negligible signs of use. Published when America was still deep in the Great Depression, "The Grapes of Wrath" is a novel detailing the heartbreak of rural dispossession and a work that, in the words of ANB, "captured the decade's angst as well as the nation's legacy of fierce individualism, visionary prosperity, and determined westward movement." In citing it as one of the "Books that Shaped America," the Library of Congress noted, "Few novels can claim that their message led to actual legislation, but 'The Grapes of Wrath' did just that. Its story of the travails of Oklahoma migrants . . . ignited a movement in Congress to pass laws benefiting farmworkers. When Steinbeck won the Nobel Prize in 1962, the committee specifically cited this novel as one of the main reasons for the award." The novel won the Pulitzer Prize in 1940 and was printed in a large press run, making it readily available at the time and ever since. The present volume, attractively bound in full morocco, is an affordable alternative to copies of the first edition in the original binding and dust jacket, which sell for prices many times the one we're asking here. FIRST EDITION, First Printing, with the words "First Published in April 1939" printed on the copyright page.

Steinbeck, John. GRAPES OF WRATH. The Viking Press, New York, 1939.
Price: US$5000.00 + shipping
Description: First edition of the Pulitzer and National Book Award-winning novel that made Steinbeck a household name. GRAPES OF WRATH has been generations of students' introduction to the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl. Steinbeck's extensive use of symbolism and Biblical motifs also makes it an excellent exercise in literary criticism for both high schoolers and hardcore academics, all pulled together with exceptionally lyrical prose. GRAPES OF WRATH was an immediate hit, and stayed atop bestseller lists for the majority of 1939. But it was not always beloved: the novel was a lighting rod for Steinbeck, both professionally and personally. His portrayal of the difficult lives of migrant workers and the corruption of the agriculture business earned him "constant vilification" from powerful farmers' groups, and the book was banned (and even occasionally burned) in a variety of communities (Demott). In his diaries, Steinbeck lamented how the novel's popularity "got really out of hand, became a public hysteria," leading to the idea that he was, himself, "public domain" (Demott). This first edition, with its hyperbolic but prescient dust jacket editorial copy ("Perhaps GRAPES OF WRATH is the greatest modern American novel. the greatest single creative work this country has ever produced"), captures the tipping point of Steinbeck's career. 8'' x 5.25''. Original tan buckram binding with brown titles and line art. Original unclipped ($2.75) color pictorial dust jacket illustrated by Elmer Hader. Yellow topstain. Endpapers with illustration of the Battle Hymn of the Republic in yellow and orange. 620 pages. Laid in is an advance order form for the book from Gotham Book Mart. Jacket spine toned. Some minor edgewear. Rubbing at front fold. Book has minor shelfsoil, faint toning. Overall, sharp. Very good plus in a very good jacket.
