1936rif. 014405New York: Covici Friede 1936. 1st Edition second issue. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. First edition second issue in maroon cloth with the scarce earliest dust jacket for this edition lacking any mention of "Of Mice and Men" and with the publisher's misspelled name blacked out on spine with correct spelling appearing above it and $2.50 original price on the front flap. In the Goldstone bibliography this edition was assumed to consist of unsold remainder sheets of the 1929 first edition likely because the McBride bell logo appears on the final page. Therefore this scarce edition is usually referred to as the "first edition second issue." However it seems more likely that Covici simply reproduced the McBride logo as an oversight before correcting their error on all subsequent editions. Either way whether a 'first second issue" or simple the second edition a scarce and desirable book. Very slight fading to maroon cloth former own name in pencil on the endpaper else a near fine book in jacket with only minor wear. Covici Friede hardcover

1954rif. 377801Salerno Italy: Ente Provinciale per il Turismo 1954. First edition first issue. 30 pp. Yellow printed paper wrappers some wear to wrappers. Interior clean in unrecorded dust jacket with woodcut of "Posetano" on front panel and "Auguri / Dorothy and Truman" printed on the inner flap some light wear along top edge of jacket otherwise its in near fine condition. First edition first issue. 30 pp. This copy specifically states "1954" on the inside front cover and would therefore precede the Italian edition published in 1955 as well as Goldstone & Payne's first English language edition. Variants have been noted see Bradford Morrow's Steinbeck catalogue which bear the date 1954 - whether this represents a different edition or later issue is unclear. Steinbeck's article had appeared in Harper's Bazaar for May 1953 and the Italian translation preceded the English version. This dust jacket is unrecorded.
