Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. John Steinbeck (1929) 'Cup of Gold', US first edition, first printing, published by Robert M. McBride and Company. Signed and inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper: "To my mother and father | whose patience | and understanding | deserve a much better book | than this one | John Steinbeck" Provenance: when the parents passed the book was inherited by the Mary Steinbeck Dekker family. Condition: a near fine book with virtually no wear. Ghosting to the endpapers from the custom made leather protective sleeve. Lacks the original dust jacket is it was discarded by the Steinbecks (see below). Incredible association to Steinbeck's proud parents, mother Olive Hamilton (1867- 1934) and John Ernst Steinbeck (1862 -1935). Both parents supported their son financially and emotionally in his literary endeavour throughout the 1920s and early 30s. John, the 1962 Nobel Prize in Literature Awardee shows with his inscription not only his gratitude to the parents but also humility and awareness that his debut novel is below his capabilities and literary ambition. Also, it stands to reason that this is the very first copy of Steinbeck's work that was ever signed and inscribed by him. To whom would a writer inscribe his first copy upon publication, if not to the supportive parents? The first edition of Cup of Gold was published in an exceptionally low number of just 1,537 copies [Goldstone & Payne, 1974: 19]. The book was issued in a flamboyant piratical dust jacket which Steinbeck disliked. The second edition (1936) already had altered dust jacket art. Steinbeck Sr did some hobby bookbinding at hims home in Pacific Grove. Most likely the dust jacket was either chucked by the writer himself or by Sr who then created this protective leather sleeve. An amazing association copy of the rarest of all of Steinbecks works. First and Fine. Signed by Author(s).

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 2nd Edition. First 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. Signed by Author(s).
