john steinbeck the winter of our discontent first edition

I have a toddler with both a budding interest in “mommy’s books” and an affinity for peanut butter. There is the value of the book to take into consideration.

But as a result of my reverence for this work, I’ve been unable to bring myself to open and actually read this particular printing. It was my adoration for this particular novel that drove me to seek out a more valuable copy in the first place. I read this book years ago and everything about it resonated with me. I turned it over in my hands carefully, smelled it (don’t judge) and then I set it down on my bookcase… where it has remained.
