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.

Condition

  • The illustrated dust jacket is present and still displays well, but it has substantial age and handling wear.
  • The jacket has edge rubbing, small tears, creasing, chipping, and paper loss, especially around the upper edges and corners.
  • The yellow jacket spine shows wear and age discoloration.
  • The rear jacket panel has edge wear and larger chipped areas along the top.
  • The green cloth hardcover remains solid with light visible shelf wear and a small decorative design on the front board.
  • The pages and page edges have normal age toning. The supplied condition notes state that the pages are clean with no markings and remain 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.
