Signed book: Of Mice and Men. Later printing. NY: Covici Friede, 1937. Hardcover with clipped dust jacket, 5 x 7.5, 186 pages. Boldly signed in fountain pen on a bookplate affixed to the front pastedown, "John Steinbeck." The bookplate is for "Henry Tatnall Brown, Jr." Autographic condition: fine. Book condition: VG/VG, with wear to spine ends of the dust jacket. The downstroke of Steinbeck's "J" extends onto the pastedown, suggesting that he signed the book itself, rather than a separate bookplate which was applied later. An immensely desirable signed book that is widely considered to be among the greatest American novels ever written.
