Description: The Good Earth Author: Pearl S. Buck Title: The Good Earth Publication: New York: The John Day Company, 1931 Edition: 1st Edition Description: Hardcover. "The Good Earth" by Pearl S. Buck. Published by The John Day Company, New York, 1931. Winner of the 1932 Pulitzer Prize for Novel (Fiction). First edition, first printing, first issue; With edition points: "The copyright page states "COPYRIGHT, 1931, BY PEARL S. BUCK" and there is no mention of subsequent printings. The bottom of the copyright page says "FOR THE JOHN DAY PUBLISHING COMPANY, INC." which was later changed to "FOR THE JOHN DAY COMPANY" late into the first printing, and is found on all subsequent printings. The dust jacket is rare and adds most of the value to the book. It is the only Pulitzer Prize winning novel whose first trade edition is WITHOUT a price on the dust jacket. Even advance issues, identical to the first printing trade dust jacket, are without a price statement." With its very rare original dust jacket. The dust jacket is in good condition. Chipping and creasing to the edges with small chips to the rear panel. Stains to the panels and spine. It has been expertly restored but the reverse looks like it has some prior glue to it. Honestly, the only way it has survived as these were all extremely fragile. The book is in very good to very good plus condition. The boards are well preserved with firm edges and the textblock is gently toned, largely clean, unmarked, and complete. A scarce copy of this American classic.
