1945rif. 8070New York: The Viking Press 1945. First edition. Fine/Near Fine. Second issue in the canary yellow cloth. A Fine copy in Near Fine dust jacket. A lovely copy of the book. Contemporary ink ownership signature to upper free endpaper. Dust jacket with some chipping to edges and to one fold. Jacket spine a bit darkened and some dustsoiling to edges of flaps but presenting very well. Overall a bright and appealing copy of Steinbeck's celebrated novel about the Cannery Row community of Monterey California. Steinbeck's straightforward prose follows the trials and tribulations of the Cannery Row community in Great Depression-era Monterey. The novel begins with a singular focus: a group of friends will throw a thank-you party for Doc a marine biologist. But such a venture envelops the larger community and through this larger scope Cannery Row explores friendship community nostalgia and the profound social effects of the Great Depression. Indeed the fame of the novel would help turn Cannery Row into a kind of tourist attraction. Steinbeck had just come home from being a war correspondent and the experience - along with his failing marriage - scarred him considerably. He began this book as kind of an escape both for him and for his readers. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. The Viking Press unknown books

rif. 06574New York: The Viking Press 1945. Advance Issue in Original Wrappers A Pre-Publication Steinbeck of Uncommon Survival STEINBECK John. Cannery Row. New York: The Viking Press 1945. Advance copy preceding the first edition. Octavo 7 3/8 x 4 3/4 inches; 187 x 121 mm. vi 208 1 advertisements 1 blank pp. Publisher's original blue printed wrappers front cover lettered in black. Housed in the original acetate jacket. Spine very slightly darkened minor wear at top of spine otherwise an exceptionally well-preserved near fine copy. A scarce and desirable advance issue of one of Steinbeck's most beloved Monterey novels issued in fragile paper wrappers for pre-publication distribution. Copies retaining the original acetate jacket are particularly uncommon as these ephemeral coverings were seldom preserved. Cannery Row stands among Steinbeck's most warmly regarded works - a loosely structured episodic portrait of life along the Monterey waterfront populated by a cast of unforgettable characters including Doc Mack and the boys. Blending humor pathos and philosophical reflection the novel captures both the camaraderie and quiet desperation of its Depression-era milieu. Advance copies of this title are rare in commerce especially in such superior condition and are keenly sought by collectors for their immediacy to publication and inherent fragility.
