HC East of Eden, by John Steinbeck. September 1952, First Edition, Viking Press
First edition of East of Eden by John Steinbeck, published in 1952 by Viking Press. This is the second printing of the first edition, as it does not have the spelling error on page 281. There is some wear and tear on the dust jacket, the name of the original owner written on the title page in the upper right corner, and some yellowing on the edges of the pages consistent with age. But other than those flaws the spine, bindings, and pages are in good condition for their age. Please see photos for flaws and condition, and if you have any questions just message me.
