About This Item
Viking, New York, 1947. First Edition hardcover in very good condition with dust cover. The dust cover is unclipped in a protective Mylar cover but has some wear and chipping around the edges and some light foxing but the graphics are full color in good condition. The book is red cloth with the title and author embossed in gold and a bus embossed on the cover. The author, title and publisher are embossed in gold on the spine. The pages are white with no writing, tears or folds but there is a small sticker from the bookstore on the lower left corner of the first endpaper.
The book in the photos is the book you are purchasing.
Synopsis
Today, nearly forty years after his death, Nobel Prize winner John Steinbeck remains one of America's greatest writers and cultural figures. Over the next year, his many works, beginning with the six shown here, will be published as black-spine Penguin Classics for the first time and will feature eye-catching, newly commissioned art.Of this initial group of six titles, The Wayward Bus is in a new edition. An imaginative and unsentimental chronicle of a bus traveling California's back roads. This allegorical novel of pilgrimage includes a new introduction by Gary Scharnhorst.Penguin Classics is proud to present these seminal works to a new generation of readers—and to the many who revisit them again and again.
