First edition, first printing of John Steinbeck's "Sweet Thursday" by Viking. This was Steinbeck's follow up to "Cannery Row". The true first printing DJ will only have a photograph of Steinbeck on the back. Book Club editions and later printings have reviews under the picture. The DJ is price price clipped. There is NO red dot on the rear board by the spine-this red dot only appears on Book Club editions. Additionally, the book is printed by The Colonial Press-they printed the 1st edition, 1st printings.Moderate staining and wear to the DJ-but colors are still bright and vivid.Book is clean with no previous owners bookplates or names inside. There is a thumb sized chip at the top of the spine.  I combine shipping on multiple orders.
