The Grapes of Wrath
1939TB31733New York: The Viking Press 1939. First Edition. Very good in illustrated beige cloth covered boards with brown text on the spine line drawings in brown on the front and rear boards and with illustrated end sheets. The top edge of the text block is stained a pale yellow but is dust stained. The lower 1/4 inch of the edges of the spine and boards are soiled and the fore edge of the text block shows a number of small foxing stains. The dust jacket is the original first edition jacket with both the price $2.75 and "First Edition" slugs in place on the front flap. Overall the jacket is in poor condition with the entire spine area missing and with heavy rubbing to the folds and edges of the panels.
