Description: A First Edition of this Steinbeck classic in the original dustjacket. With "first published in September 1938" on the copyright page. The book is square and solid with an attractive red topstain on the top edges, bound in cream buckram with burn orange cloth covers. With 303 pages, the book shows overall darkening on the covers, edges and endpapers but the interior is quite clean. The endpapers show the aging of the glue used during publication and a previous owner's name. The dustjacket is complete with the original price ($2.50) and a small sales sticker with the same price from the D.W. Robinson Co. in Los Angeles. Overall the dustjacket shows wear and darkening with a split between the spine and back panel held together with (what a previous owner claims is) acid-free tape. We have added an archival plastic dustjacket which protects the integrity of the fragile but original dustjacket. Overall an inmportant book in the original cloth that shows its age and poor quality of publishing materials but still a special copy. Only 8,000 copies of this book were printed.

Condition: Near Fine
Description: First Printing. A Near Fine copy with the usual age darkening to the front pastedown in a Very Good plus unclipped dust jacket with gentle wear to the extremities, and a short closed edge tear at the head of the spine. A collectible copy of this collection of classic Steinbeck fiction. This volume of stories collected with the encouragement of his longtime editor Pascal Covici serves as a wonderful introduction to the work of Nobel Prize winner John Steinbeck. Set in the beautiful Salinas Valley of California, where simple people farm the land and struggle to find a place for themselves in the world, these stories reflect Steinbeck s characteristic interests: the tensions between town and country, laborers and owners, past and present. Included here are the O. Henry Prize-winning story "The Murder"; "The Chrysanthemums," perhaps Steinbeck s most challenging story, both personally and artistically; "Flight," "The Snake," "The White Quail," and the classic tales of "The Red Pony."

Description: First edition of this collection of short stories in and about California's Salinas Valley, where Steinbeck was born. Published on the heels of the success of OF MICE AND MEN, this selection of short fiction by John Steinbeck is a bittersweet tour through his beloved Salinas Valley. Vignettes of farm life in the western US, at times tragic, at times beautiful, are woven with themes such as loss of innocence, racism, and keeping up appearances. Stories in this collection include "The Chrysanthemums," originally published in HARPERS MAGAZINE, and "The Red Pony" novella, first serialized in THE NORTH AMERICAN REVIEW. Also included is "Flight," published for the first time in this title, making Steinbeck "one of the first American writers to portray sympathetic Hispanic characters" (Laws). 8'' x 5''. Original beige buckram-backed cloth boards with red lettering to spine. Original unclipped ($2.50) color pictorial dust jacket illustrated by Elmer Hader. Brown topstain. Title page printed in red and black. 304 pages. Jacket with mild edgewear; spine slightly toned. Binding with mild toning to spine, a bit of bumping to spine ends. Shows nicely.
