The true 1st/1st has orange stain top125 review copies has publishing copyright page 1st Ed 2nd state has publishing copyright pagemost people call this one the true 1st brown top stainabout 3000 1st Ed 3rd statepeople call this the 2nd state has just John Day Company copyright page and green stain top. John Day talked about the difference between the so called 1st state then correcting the copyright page and staining the top green. Well he did not KNOW what he was talking about or the printing got it wrong because this one has the Publishing on the copyright date with the Green stain instead of brown Making this the only one I have seenand the other collectors I talked with have not seen it either. I have decent offers but this is one of a kindmore rare than the 125 true first editions which in any condition bring $2500 for ones falling apart. So I think $5k is a good point. If I find others I will drop the priceof course I will buy them too. JOHN DAY hardcover

LET ME EXPLAIN THE STATES 1ST STATE HAS BRIGHT ORANGE STAIN ON THE TOP EDGESEE MY LISTED FOR 14K ONE OF 125. 2ND STATE HAS BROWN STAIN TOP EDGE AND THE JOHN DAY PUBLISHING COMPANY ON COPYRIGHT PAGE JUST LIKE THE ORANGE. Most list the correction on the copyyright page TO JOHN DAY COMPANY AS A 2ND STATE BUT IT IS THE 3RD STATE WITH THE GREEN STAIN TOP EDGE. The error about "flees" is present up to the 3rd Printing or 6 runs. Mr. John Day was ask about states and he could not even remember. I have seen 3 of the Orange in 45 years and almost sold the 14k for 2k until i examined all three books and the wrapper matched the 1st state. There it is. I can not take credit for the 3 states it is mention by another author in 1932. The green stain is suppose to have about 6200 but I have only seen 2 of them in 45 years. The brown has about 3200 those I have seen 100's. This book is of normal Very Good Condition and no dustacket but has a bookplate. It is very tight and square. JOHN DAY hardcover

This copy is a 1st trade edition 1st printing of the work published by John Day Publishing Company in 1931. There is no dust jacket but the boards are protected from further wear by a custom vinyl sleeve. "Nobel Laureate Pearl S. Buck's epic Pulitzer Prize-winning novel and Oprah Book Club selection about a vanished China and one family's shifting fortunes. Though more than seventy years have passed since this remarkable novel won the Pulitzer Prize it has retained its popularity and become one of the great modern classics. In The Good Earth Pearl S. Buck paints an indelible portrait of China in the 1920s when the last emperor reigned and the vast political and social upheavals of the twentieth century were but distant rumblings. This moving classic story of the honest farmer Wang Lung and his selfless wife O-Lan is must reading for those who would fully appreciate the sweeping changes that have occurred in the lives of the Chinese people during the last century. Nobel Prize winner Pearl S. Buck traces the whole cycle of life: its terrors its passions its ambitions and rewards. Her brilliant novel—beloved by millions of readers—is a universal tale of an ordinary family caught in the tide of history." ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Pearl Comfort Sydenstricker Buck June 26 1892 – March 6 1973 was an American writer and novelist. She is best known for The Good Earth the best-selling novel in the United States in 1931 and 1932 and which won her the Pulitzer Prize in 1932. In 1938 Buck became the first American woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature "for her rich and truly epic descriptions of peasant life in China" and for her "masterpieces" two memoir-biographies of her missionary parents. Buck was born in West Virginia but in October 1892 her parents took their 4-month-old baby to China. As the daughter of missionaries and later as a missionary herself Buck spent most of her life before 1934 in Zhenjiang with her parents and in Nanjing with her first husband. She and her parents spent their summers in a villa in Kuling Mount Lu Jiujiang and it was during this annual pilgrimage that the young girl decided to become a writer. She graduated from Randolph-Macon Woman's College in Lynchburg Virginia then returned to China. From 1914 to 1932 after marrying John Lossing Buck she served as a Presbyterian missionary but she came to doubt the need for foreign missions. Her views became controversial during the Fundamentalist–Modernist controversy leading to her resignation. After returning to the United States in 1935 she married the publisher Richard J. Walsh and continued writing prolifically. She became an activist and prominent advocate of the rights of women and racial equality and wrote widely on Chinese and Asian cultures becoming particularly well known for her efforts on behalf of Asian and mixed-race adoption.
