Manuscript

The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck
1939
TMs, 162 p.

[Folio, uncorrected galley proofs, bound untrimmed in plain brown wrappers. A cursory comparison of this galley proof and an early edition of the book revealed no changes in chapter beginnings and endings, but only a few intermittent textual changes, suggesting that Steinbeck may have gone through this version of the galley proof before publication. This is a rare pre-publication issue.]
