About This Item
The Short Reign of Pippin the Short A Fabrication by John Steinbeck (author of Grapes of Wrath, East of Eden, Of Mice and Men, and Cannery Row) Hardcover First Edition - First Printing Viking 1957. Fine- in Near Fine- price-clipped Dustjacket. A really nice copy of one Steinbeck's more humorous offerings. Book itself is just about as close to fine as you could desire, corners straight, inner pages clean, spine lettering very bold, very slight toning to pages edges which is to be expected. The dust jacket is in really nice shape, very bright at the front, price-clipped and slight chip to lower rear corner, very slight fading to spine, and typical fraying to lower spine edge, else essentially all there. A very nice smart copy.
NOTE: This is NOT the book club edition.
NOTE: All modern books with dust jackets come with dust jacket covers.
ALSO: The picture is the actual item for sale. (The picture is NOT a stock photo.)
