A near fine copy in a near fine second-issue dust jacket with review comments printed beneath the photograph on the rear panel. A warmly nostalgic return to the Monterey setting of Cannery Row Sweet Thursday reunites Doc and a cast of eccentric and endearing characters in a postwar landscape tinged with both humor and quiet melancholy. Though lighter in tone than Steinbeck's earlier works the novel retains his characteristic sympathy for outsiders and his keen sense of place.
