Description: Of Mice and Men Author: STEINBECK, John Title: Of Mice and Men Publication: New York: Covici Friede, 1937 Description: Hardcover. First edition, first issue. Fine in fine and bright dustwrapper. A beautiful copy of this poignant, classic novella of two Depression-era drifters whose dreams of a better life are not supported by fate. By way of illustration of this volume's scarcity, 2500 copies of the first issue were printed vs. 50,000 for *The Grapes of Wrath*, and 78,000 for *Cannery Row*. Basis for the 1939 Lewis Milestone film with Burgess Meredith and Lon Chaney, Jr. in the lead, and which lost out to *Gone With the Wind* for the Best Picture Oscar in possibly Hollywood's greatest year (other "losers" that year included *The Grapes of Wrath, Dark Victory, Goodbye Mr. Chips, The Wizard of Oz, Ninotchka, Stagecoach, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington*, and *Wuthering Heights*). Probably the nicest copy we've seen. Seller ID: 541008 Subject: Books Into Film Between the Covers Between the Covers has been selling books for more than 30 years.
