The Salinas: Upside Down River.

New York, NY Farrar & Rinehart, 1945. Hardcover First Edition (1945); probable later printing, as there is no F&R colophon at the the copyright page, nor is there an explicit statement of first edtion. On the other hand, it appears from exterior evidence that subsequent printings were explicitly noted; this is not the case here. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR at the dedication page. Very Good in Very Good DJ: Both book and DJ show indications of moderate use. The Book shows light wear to the lower extremities; a bit of crimping to the heel of the backstrip; a little dust-dulling to the top edge; the binding remains square and secure; the text is clean. Free of any ownership names, dates, addresses, notations, inscriptions, stamps, plates, or labels. A lightly used copy, structurally sound and tighly bound, showing only mild wear and several minor flaws. The DJ shows rubbing and soiling; light wear to extremities, with scant loss to chipping and rubbing; just a hint of soiling to the white background field of the rear panel; faint sunning to the backstrip; the price is intact; mylar-protected.
