Signed book: East of Eden. Limited first edition of 1,500 copies. NY: Viking Press, 1952. Hardcover, 6.5 x 9.25, 602 pages. The renowned author of this visually appealing, first edition copy of East of Eden signed the limitation page in blue ink, and the autograph appears clear, and quite frankly, is beautiful—certainly, it is appropriate that Steinbeck saw fit to place such an impressive signature on his key work. The leaf bearing this splendid penning exhibits a printed statement declaring that this item is a special edition that is limited to just 1,500 copies, of which 750 were selected for private distribution. This desirable book exhibits fine condition with mild toning to the inside page, and minor rubbing to the spine that has resulted in some slight surface loss. RRAuction COA.
