This vintage book was published in 1952 by The Viking Press, and its relevance and resonance have not dimmed in the ensuing years. Quite the contrary, it has only become more valuable as a cornerstone of 20th-century American literature. The book is bidding goodbye to its place in a private collection, providing a unique opportunity for those passionate about Steinbeck's work. The generously sized, hardcover binding of the book showcases the vintage appeal of this rare collectible.

The centerpiece of this lot is, unequivocally, John Steinbeck's personal signature. The autograph is found on the first endpaper, traced in what appears to be blue-black fountain pen ink. With the signature showing clear, consistent, and unwavering lines, it substantiates a compelling confirmation of authenticity.
