First edition of John Steinbeck’s novel, “The Wayward Bus,” published in February 1947 by The Viking Press. This vintage hardcover book is a classic piece of American literature and a valuable find for collectors of Steinbeck’s works. Condition is used. The book shows signs of age consistent with a 1947 publication, including some wear on the covers. The pages exhibit some yellowing, as visible in the photos. Despite these minor imperfections, the binding is intact, and the pages are all present and readable. No dust jacket is included. The product described is a hardcover first Edition print. The pages of this book have a deckle edge which is a natural, uneven, and feathery texture on the edge of handmade paper. It’s an artifact from the papermaking process, where a wooden frame called a “deckle” was used to hold the paper fibers. The book does not come signed and is not personalized, but it holds cultural significance as a classic piece of American literature. This collectible item would be a valuable addition to any book enthusiast’s collection, showcasing Steinbeck’s iconic style and storytelling prowess. Thank you.
