Description: Winter of Our Discontent by John Steinbeck *** LIMITED 1ST EDITION/1ST PRINTING OF ONLY 500 COPIES*** This copy is flat-signed on a notecard by Steinbeck that was then attached below the limited edition statement by Viking (see second picture). I have seen this a few times over the past 10 years with this limited edition and am unclear if this was then sent out via the publisher to “special” recipients chosen by Steinbeck or the publisher? A scarce limited edition of one of Steinbeck’s best works (and his last novel). Rare when found signed, particularly in high grade condition. There are only a handful of known signed examples - a few signed on attached notecards and a few signed on the endpapers. An example of the latter is listed for $12,500 on rare book sites. OVERALL CONDITION: NEAR FINE Published in 1961 by Viking Press in New York. Limited first edition, first printing as indicated on the special page with limited edition of 500 statement. “First Published in 1961 by the Viking Press, Inc.” statement on copyright page with no other printings listed. In original dark blue cloth covered boards with mustard yellow endpapers. No dust jacket. Protected in hard acetate wrap. CONDITION: The book is in NEAR FINE vintage condition. Minimal rubbing to extremities. Spine tips are unrubbed (quite scarce!) Boards are clean, colorful and unfaded. Just some spine lean/spine a bit cocked else FINE. Exceptionally clean interior with no writing, stickers, ex libris marks, foxing or wear. Please view the pictures as they are an important part of the condition and content information. Book will be fully insured at my expense (as it should be) and will require signature upon delivery to safeguard your new treasure.
