First edition, first issue of Steinbeck’s epic and moving story of a modern Cain and Abel with “bite” for “bight” on page 281, line 38. Octavo, original cloth. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Housed in a custom clamshell box. An exceptional example.
"A novel planned on the grandest possible scale...One of those occasions when a writer has aimed high and then summoned every ounce of energy, talent, seriousness, and passion of which he was capable...It is an entirely interesting and impressive book" (The New York Herald Tribune).
