Item #377801
This copy specifically states "1954" on the inside front cover and would therefore precede the Italian edition published in 1955, as well as Goldstone & Payne's first English language edition. Variants have been noted (see Bradford Morrow’s Steinbeck catalogue) which bear the date 1954 — whether this represents a different edition or later issue is unclear. Steinbeck’s article had appeared in Harper’s Bazaar for May 1953, and the Italian translation preceded the English version.
This dust jacket is unrecorded.
