Description: This is the highly collectible Book Club Edition of this classic work. The book itself is in very nice condition, showing only slight wear. The dust jacket, unlike so many copies, is in collector's condition; the wonderful dust jacket art still has vibrant colors; it has bit of spotting, discoloration and is rubbed at edges, but overall it is impressive for a cheaply made dust jacket. This is perhaps the greatest novel ever written about World War Two, and the most readable. This is an engrossing, ingenious, and well-written story of ordinary men at sea, placed in an uncommon predicament. Their predicament is simple: their captain is a spectacularly bad leader. This leads to consequences that Wouk develops brilliantly. Wouk's own experience in the US Navy gives this book a gritty authentic feel. The reader really gets a flavor of what it must have been like to be a junior US Naval officer aboard a destroyer-minesweeper. The discussions of officer efficiency reports, the codebreaking duty, casual discipline, and more, all ring true. The real story is the maturation of Willie Keith. At the beginning of the novel he is a spoiled, overprivileged lad living an aimless life. His time in the service, and the unusual predicament in which he finds himself, hardens him into a true fighting-man in a way that has happened to countless thousands of servicemen. Wouk tells this story exceedingly well, in a manner that most readers will be able to easily relate to. I found this novel to be an unusually good read primarily for this reason. Wouk's writing is first-rate, and it is easy to see why this novel appealed to readers of the early 1950s, many of them with fresh memories of World War Two. The flavor of that war lingers in the novel even today, and gives the twenty-first century reader a notion of what those times were like. This is altogether a remarkably good novel

Wouk, Herman. THE CAINE MUTINY. Doubleday & Company, Inc, Garden City, 1951.
Price: US$1200.00 + shipping
Description: First edition, in first state jacket, of Herman Wouk's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of conflict and mistrust aboard a destroyer, adapted into an Oscar-nominated film starring Humphrey Bogart. Herman Wouk drew on his own experiences aboard destroyers in the Pacific theater to craft his narrative of internal and external conflicts. Rather than being an action-packed reflection on the adventure of war, THE CAINE MUTINY focuses on the minutia and procedures that keep the war machine turning, and the tough decisions that must be made when things break down With Humphrey Bogart in the indelible role of the unstable Lieutenant Commander Queeg, the 1954 Hollywood adaptation of the novel was the second-highest grossing film of the year. An enormous bestseller at the time, the true first edition is uncommon. 8.25'' x 5.5''. Original blue cloth binding with silver lettering to spine. Original unclipped ($3.95) color pictorial first state ("The City Boy"; no mention of Pulitzer price: see Sarner) dust jacket, illustrated by John Hull. Cartographic endpapers of the cruise of the Caine. 494 pages. Jacket with edgewear, some loss to top of spine and a few spots of soil. Clean and sharp overall. Near fine in very good dust jacket.

Description: First Edition. A near fine copy in a very good first issue, generally presumed second state, 'City Boy'dust jacket, which is very good or a little better. This is nearly always incorrectly referred to as a second issue. Clearly, those copies of the jacket mentioning the Pulitzer Prize are later, more likely to be later printings rather than later issues (a jacket 'issue' would have been supplied on first printings of the book. Possibly? Yes. Likely? No.). However, it appears to this cataloguer that the attribution of 'The City Boy' as opposed to 'City Boy' on the back panel preceding relies on conjecture and supposition, a belief apparently based on those copies noting the Pulitzer Prize dropping 'The.' This conclusion is possible, even logical, but hardly definitive. It is useful to keep in mind that publishers had and have little reason to consider the future concerns of bibliographers. Publishing practice and the demands of commerce do not necessarily follow logic closely. One thing is certain however: these are variants, and another thing appears equally true: copies with 'The City Boy' are scarcer. A valid, but self-serving bit of advice suggests the wisdom of acquiring both. Here endeth the lesson, but probably not the headaches. A bookplate signed by the author is tipped in over a previous owner's inscription on the half-title. A Pulitzer Prize winning novel (noted on undeniably later issue dust jackets); the basis for the great 1954 film of the same title. It seems to this cataloguer that no novel has been better served by a filmed version than this book. All books described as first editions are first printings unless otherwise noted.

Description: First Edition. Bound galley proofs, printed on rectos only; bound in plain blue wrappers with the publisher's label on the front wrapper; minor wear. Measuring approximately 7 x 11 3/4.' In a custom quarter-leather clamshell box. These days, advance copies (sometimes a photocopied typescript) comprise a significant portion of the publicity for a publication, often appearing to outnumber the trade copies issued. However, the expensive format of these proofs only allowed for a small number of copies to be prepared for the most important reviewers or in-house use, such as soliciting and securing further rights. This represents the final, printed novel in its earliest form. While no precise number is known, it is unlikely that more than a handful or two were produced. Basis for the motion picture of the same title, that film, heavily edited and cut as it apparently was, remains powerfully memorable for its script, exceptional performances, and dramatic tension. The court-martial scene, close as it might be to anti-climactic, still causes one to squirm at Queeg's breakdown on the stand. In a sense, even beyond this scene, it's about the discomfort of the moral dilemma facing the characters, the circumstances, and ourselves. All books described as first editions are first printings unless otherwise noted.
