The Pastures of Heaven
John Steinbeck
New York, 1932
 
First edition, first printing, second issue in first issue jacket. 
 
Steinbeck’s second published book - an emotional series of interconnected short stories set in the Salinas Valley. It’s one of his more uncommon first editions.
 
Fine book in dust jacket with tiny chips at the corners, small tape stains on verso at the foot of front flap, a couple of small closed splits along front and back cover edges, else Near Fine. A bright example of the understatedly beautiful, ethereal jacket
