19364284New York: Blue Ribbon Books 1936. Reprint. Hardcover. Very good/good . Octavo 349pp. A very good copy gently cocked with a contmporary gift inscription on the front free endpaper. In the scarce dust jacket good or better split nearly halfway at the front flap and with some chipping at the extremities. This is what you might call a "first edition thus" being the first Blue Ribbon edition although the true first edition was published by Covici-Friede earlier the same year. Though Blue RIbbon is a well-known reprint publisher this volume seems to have become collectible in the dust jacket which has a wonderful illustration on the front panel depicting a thoroughly Steinbeck-ian gathering of disgruntled workers whose plight is the thrust of this under-appreciated novel.

193660027New York: Covici-Friede Publishers 1936. First edition of this "dramatically intense beautifully written novel" The New Republic; the first book in Steinbeck's Dustbowl trilogy which was followed by Of Mice and Men and The Grapes of Wrath. Octavo original cloth. Signed by John Steinbeck on the front free endpaper in a contemporary hand. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket with light rubbing and a few short tears. Trade editions are rare signed. On publication New York Times reviewer Fred T. March compared it to the "genial gusto" of the "picaresque" Tortilla Flat. He commented that "You would never know that In Dubious Battle was by the same John Steinbeck if the publishers did not tell you so." He called it "courageous and desperately honest" "the best labor and strike novel to come out of our contemporary economic and social unrest" and "such a novel as Sinclair Lewis at his best might have done had he gone on with his projected labor novel." In 1943 with Steinbeck now famous Carlos Baker "revalued" the novel. He opened by saying "Among Steinbeck's best novels the least known is probably In Dubious Battle." Steinbeck he said "is supremely interested in what happens to men's minds and hearts when they function not as responsible self-governing individuals but as members of a group. Biologists have a word for this very important problem; they call it bionomics or ecology." He said that "Steinbeck's bionomic interest is visible in all that he has done from Tortilla Flat in the middle Thirties through his semi-biological Sea of Cortez to his latest communiques as a war correspondent in England." He characterized In Dubious Battle as "an attempt to study a typical mid-depression strike in bionomic terms." In 1958 critic Alfred Kazin referred to In Dubious Battle and The Grapes of Wrath as "his most powerful books" contrasting them with Cannery Row and The Wayward Bus. President Barack Obama told the New York Times that it was his favorite book by Steinbeck. It is the basis for the 2016 film directed by and produced by James Franco with a screenplay by Matt Rager. The film features an ensemble cast consisting of Franco Nat Wolff Josh Hutcherson Selena Gomez Vincent D'Onofrio Analeigh Tipton Zach Braff Bryan Cranston Ed Harris and Robert Duvall.
