Details
Description
A signed limited first edition, this is the scarce "lettered" issue that was meant for private distribution to friends.
- John Steinbeck (American).
- New York: Covici Friede, 1937.
- Owner bookplate tipped onto free endpaper purportedly belonging to a Covici Friede associate.
- Housed in the publisher's slip case with the limitation letter on the spine of the case.
In addition to being lettered instead of numbered, this issue is printed on Marais handmade paper (watermarked) while the numbered copies are on La Garde paper. The limited edition originally sold for $10.00—a large sum for the time, but sold out. The story features young Jody Tiflin and his life on his father's northern California ranch. The first edition has no illustrations; an illustrated expanded edition came out in 1945.
