[Rarebooks] FS: Nice Copy of John Steinbeck's First Book in Dustwrapper

[Charles Agvent]

STEINBECK, John. CUP OF GOLD. A LIFE OF SIR HENRY MORGAN, BUCCANEER, 
WITH OCCASIONAL REFERENCE TO HISTORY. New York: Covici Friede, (1936). 
First Edition. The 1936 issue of Steinbeck's first book printed with 
remainder sheets of the 1929 first edition and with new front material. 
The 1929 edition consisted of 1,537 copies while this edition was 
comprised of no more than 939 copies. This copy in blue cloth (maroon 
has priority) but is in the first issue of the dustwrapper without the 
publisher's name printed on the spine. An increasingly uncommon book no 
longer often seen in this condition. Fine in just about Fine dustwrapper 
with a hint of wear. (#014769)        $850.00
