The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck is this March 1941 seventh printing of the Triangle Books edition, complete with its colorful illustrated dust jacket.
You are getting the green cloth hardcover and the original period dust jacket shown in the photos. The copyright page gives a clear printing history beginning with the Triangle Books edition of August 1939 and ending with this seventh printing in March 1941.
That makes this a later printing, not a first printing. The book has 318 pages, and the pages are clean with no markings noted. The text remains easy to read.
If you want an early Triangle Books copy that still has the illustrated jacket, this copy gives you that combination. The jacket is clearly worn rather than crisp, so it is better suited to a reader or display shelf where honest period wear is welcome than to someone looking for a fine condition jacket.
This March 1941 Triangle Books seventh printing still has its colorful illustrated dust jacket, and it suits a reader or display shelf where honest period wear is welcome.
If it's the right copy for you, it's ready to come home.
