Especially if you have a dust jacket, this would be a beautiful addition to a library if the spine got sorted. As I said with my other copy, a person willing to expertly glue might be able to fix this right up. Citations contain only title, author, edition, publisher.

It's not loose in terms of pages being at risk of coming out, but it is certainly strained in a number of places (see pictures). Note Citation formats are based on standards as of July 2022. There is also a light spot on the spine under 'Eden' but you don't even see it in most light.

I listed one very similar to this last week, but the following description will be different.The boards are very nice on this one overall, but you will notice what looks like a small pen mark on the left side of the cover, some bumping at the top and bottom of the spine, a slightly crinkled upper righthand corner, and a light line down the left side of the spine where the pages have pressed. EAST OF EDEN 1955 Special Deluxe Limited Edition DigiBook Blu-ray Based on John Steinbecks novel and directed by award-winning director Elia Kazan, East of Eden was James Deans breakout big-screen performance, one that will forever be remembered in Hollywood history. This is a first edition/ first printing of John Steinbeck's East of Eden from 1952 with 'First published by the Viking Press in September 1952.' It also has 'bite' instead of 'bight' on page 281, line 38 (but that typo also appears in other early editions, so be careful with that if you're looking at other copies.)If that text looks familiar, you're not crazy.
