1936Best.-Nr. 2240First Covici Friede Edition in First state dust jacket with no mention of "Of Mice and Men" with the original Covici Friede title blacked out and the $2.50 price intact on the front flap. A Near Fine book in a Very Good or better dust jacket. Also called the 2nd Edition of the book having originally been published by McBride in 1929; however this edition reportedly includes sheets from that first edition so some call this 1st Edition 2nd State; this is the author's first published novel. Inscribed and SIGNED by the author on the title page to a previous owner who also put his name and address discreetly underneath the front flap. This copy is in near fine condition with a square tight binding gold lettering over clean maroon boards and clean white pages with only a hint of foxing throughout; the book does show some light rubbing and sunning to the top board edges and a mild gutter exposure to the first few pages else fine. Housed in a clean and bright very good or better dust jacket that shows some moderate sunning to the spine mild rubbing and chipping to the spine ends edges and corners and a couple of short closed tears to the top of the front and back panels. Overall a very handsome and presentable copy of the book with a very clean and legible signature from Steinbeck with the added provenance of the original signee's name written in. An important addition to the Steinbeck library or the 20th century literature collection. Not remaindered not price clipped not ex-library; in a protective Mylar cover and will ship in a sturdy box.

Best.-Nr. 06592New York: Covici Friede 1936. Steinbeck's First Book - The Buccaneer Romance of Henry Morgan Cup of Gold - First Covici Friede Edition Using McBride Sheets STEINBECK John. Cup of Gold. A Life of Sir Henry Morgan Buccaneer with Occasional Reference to History. New York: Covici Friede 1936. First Covici Friede edition after the McBride first edition of 1929. Octavo 7 7/16 x 5 1/8 inches; 188 x 130 mm. viii 269 3 blank pp. Publisher's maroon cloth spine lettered in gilt top edge stained blue others uncut. Very slight fading 1/16 inch at lower spine and top edges otherwise fine. In the original first-issue color pictorial dust jacket with only minimal rubbing to extremities. Overall a superb example. Originally published in 1929 Cup of Gold was Steinbeck's first book - a romantic and imaginative re-creation of the life of the Welsh privateer Sir Henry Morgan. Though quite different in tone from the social realism that would later define his reputation the novel reveals early evidence of Steinbeck's narrative power and his fascination with myth ambition and the human condition. This 1936 Covici Friede issue represents the first reappearance of the work following Steinbeck's growing success in the mid-1930s. The edition is bibliographically significant: it utilizes unsold sheets of the original 1929 Robert M. McBride edition newly issued with a Covici Friede title-page and binding. In effect Covici Friede acquired the remaining McBride stock and reissued it under their own imprint. When these sheets were exhausted later printings were produced independently by Covici Friede typically in blue cloth. As such this edition occupies an important transitional position between the exceedingly rare McBride first issue and the later more common reprints. Copies in such fresh condition particularly with the fragile and vividly illustrated dust jacket intact are increasingly scarce. A particularly attractive and bibliographically interesting example of Steinbeck's elusive first book. Goldstone & Payne A1c. New York: Covici Friede, 1936 unknown books
