[Rarebooks] FS: Beautiful First of THE GRAPES OF WRATH in dustwrapper

[Charles Agvent]

STEINBECK,  John. THE GRAPES OF WRATH. New York: The Viking  Press
(1939).  First Edition. A towering novel of the twentieth century  and
winner  of  the Pulitzer Prize. This is a beautiful copy of  the  book
with  just  a little of the darkening to the gutters, a common  defect
for  this title. The book is as tight as when it left the publisher. A
previous  owner  has written in a small hand on the front endpaper  "I
think  it  belongs  alongside of 'God's Angry Men,"  dated  1939.  The
dustwrapper  maintains  both  the price and the  all-important  "First
Edition"  statement. Both panels are bright with just a bit of sunning
to  the  spine and with no chips or tears, just a few small  spots  of
rubbing.  Close  to Fine in a close to Fine,  attractive  dustwrapper.
                                                               $7500.00
