Steinbeck, John The Moon is Down
New York Viking 1942 First Edition, First Printing Cloth
First issue: meets all points. Near Fine in a Very Good dustjacket. Bound in full blue cloth. The spine is stamped in silver. 188pps. The topstain is faded, otherwise Fine: clean, tight, square, and bright. All tips are sharp. The dustjacket (first issue, textured), with light edgewear and with rubbing along the gutters and the flap-folds, has been laminated (as oppossed to mylar) on both sides; this has preserved it nicely, if altering its original state. Two small closed tears are at the top of the back panel. The original price (2.00) is intact.
"...'The Moon is Down', Steinbeck's comment on the moral and ethical implications of war, begins in an unknown town that has just been occupied by a small regiment of enemy soldiers. With no altenrnative, the Mayor of the town agrees to meet with the enemy to try to work out a plan for peaceful co-existence before the impending war goes much further..."

New York Viking 1942 First Edition
Second issue. Very Good+ in a Very Good dustjacket. Fully-bound in blue cloth. The spine is stamped in silver. 188pp. This is a 'Haddon Craftsmen' copy, with only the first printing (March, 1942) referenced. A previous owner's signature is on the ffep. The topstain is faded. There is a bit of spine-lean. Otherwise clean, tight, and bright. All tips are sharp. Pages 31 and 137 are dog-ear-undone.

Overall, a nice copy in a colorful dustjacket.
