Description: Tortilla Flat by John Steinbeck A fine copy of the first edition, wrappered issue, owner by John Steinbeck's nephew, David Heyler New York: Covici Friede, 1935. First edition, wrappered issue of the author's first successful novel. A fantastic survival of this format. Provenance: Actor Jean Hersholt with his label to interior of chemise; and later from the collection of John Steinbeck's nephew, David Heyler. Publisher's original sewn binding in wraps, (original?) glassine wrap; approximately one of 500 copies that were bound as such. Though Goldstone and Payne mention there is no evidence this preceded the trade cloth issue, it is often assumed that this was issued in advance of publication. Fine, with a faint bump to foot of spine and endsheets faintly offset. A stunning copy with wonderful provenance, housed in a custom folding slipcase. Goldstone and Payne A4a.
