Of Mice and Men by STEINBECK JOHN - 1937

London: Heinemann, 1937. First Edition. Hard Cover. Dust Jacket. (London & Toronto Heinemann 1937). First Edition. Publisher's duck blue cloth lettered in gilt to the spine. Top edge pink. Pink end-papers. Decorations by Michael Rothenstein. 'First Published 1937' on back of title page. No additional printings. No inscriptions. No foxing. Heinemann blind-stamp to rear board. A very nice bright near fine (or better) copy with offsetting to both sets of end-papers. In the RARE blue pictorial D/W designed and illustrated by Michael Rothenstein printed in pink and black. The VG+ D/W is very nice indeed and much better than normally seen. It is NOT price-clipped and just mildly toned to the spine with just a hint of fraying at the tip and tail. Being hyper-critical the folds are slightly darkened but overall a lovely copy. NO restoration whatsoever. Scans invited.
