About This Item
Reynal & Hitchcock, 1939. First edition, Second printing. Seminal piece and as stated, a record of human erosion. Rarely has the camera been used so beautifully and effectively as a documentary tool to convey an understanding, easily, clearly and vividly of what Steinbeck also showed in The Grapes of Wrath. Post-American depression migration of Americans moving in hardship through the 1930s finding a place. Near fine blue boards with gilt titles in very good illustrated (Lange) front cover with its pronounced Voltaire quote on the back cover. Top edge and only parts of the bottom edge have been reinforced. The book is in mylar protective cover. The full dignity of the front cover comes through quite nicely
