About This Item
Ventura, CA: John Anthony Miller Studio, 2016. Steinbeck, John. The Grapes of Wrath Facsimile Dust Jacket for the First Edition Book (JACKET ONLY NO BOOK). Ventura, CA: John Anthony Miller Graphic Studio, A restored facsimile dust jacket for the first edition (US) printing by Viking Press in 1939. This jacket was printed on special woven paper to simulate the first edition jacket.
Rendered by John Anthony Miller studio in Ventura. Trimmed and end enclosed in crystal clear Mylar dust jacket protector, and ready to put on your book-done on woven, special paper, like the first edition was. I use archival inks and archival paper as well.Your jacket should last about 80 years or more, if kept out of direct sunlight. Please see the photo to view the QUALITY of this item. Remember, this is for the facsimile dust jacket only, no book is enclosed. This jacket, although different from later printings of THE GRAPES OF WRATH, will fit the 2nd to about 7th printing (I believe--please send the height of your book would be a good idea)--my beautifully done jacket will definitely improve the appearance of the book. Also, there are a group of people collecting my jackets as art, since I am an artist (please search the net under John Anthony Miller). Thank you! John Anthony Miller..
