Travels With Charley. In Search of America

First UK edition. Publisher’s original blue cloth boards with silver lettering to spine. Near fine. In good [only] dust jacket with the stunning design by Arnold Schwartzman. Jacket chipped to edges with some loss and folds heavily rubbed; spine sunned. (See photographs.) *** Published a few months before Steinbeck was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, this partly fictional travelogue became a massive bestseller. The print run must have been small; first editions are relatively scarce.
