1935Best.-Nr. 41022New York: Covici Friede Publishers 1935. First printing. Near fine in very good plus dust jacket. First edition of this oft-comical tale of post-World War I Monterey following the exploits of a wine-loving and vaguely Arthurian group of paisanos a beautiful copy in the scarce original dust jacket. The lighthearted tone of TORTILLA FLAT lifted the spirits of Americans during the Great Depression for whom "reading and the movies were escape. escape from grinding poverty escape from worrying about how to pay the rent escape from worrying about how to find a job" San Jose. Danny and his round table of friends are rarely concerned with any of those issues as they meander through life in Monterey undeniably poor but not experiencing the tragedy of poverty in the same way as many of Steinbeck's later characters. Steinbeck even drew joy from writing the work: "it is light and I think amusing. I don't care whether it amounts to anything. I am enjoying it and I need something to help me over this last ditch" Steinbeck and Wallsten. TORTILLA FLAT did of course amount to something earning the California Commonwealth Club's Gold Medal and a mention in the justification for Steinbeck's 1962 Nobel Prize. It was also made into a 1942 film starring Spencer Tracy and Hedy Lamarr and was one of the top box office grossers of the year. This first edition is a crystallization of the beginning of Steinbeck's career before his works were required reading in classrooms across America. With Ruth Gannett's illustrations nestled throughout the text TORTILLA FLAT is a refreshingly light title in a broad oeuvre. 7.5'' x 5''. Original tan cloth binding with blue spine lettering. Original unclipped $2.50 pictorial dust jacket in blue and black. Blue topstain. Fore-edge machine deckle. Illustrated throughout in black and white. 318 pages. Housed in custom blue leather-backed clamshell box. Jacket with some edgewear mild chipping to spine ends; spine sunned. Binding corners and spine ends lightly bumped topstain a bit faded; tiny creases to lower margins of pages 316-318. A clean sound copy. Covici Friede Publishers unknown

1947Best.-Nr. 26792New York:: Viking 1947. First Printing of the First Illustrated Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Fine bright unclipped dust jacket. This classic story of California paisanos living in Monterey is one of Steinbeck's most loved tales rich in characters and a story that is enchanting and universal. Steinbeck often used myths and themes or biblical stories in his novels. In Tortilla Flat Steinbeck expressed his philosophy of group-man. During the Depression it was difficult for a family to stay together financially spiritually psychologically.
