"Published by the viking press in February 1947, Copyright 1947 by John Steinbeck, Published in the same day by the Dominion of Canada by the Macmillian Company of Canada Limited" Same Date to copyright and title page. Cover is sunfaded on edges and spine. Light foxing on endpapers. Yellowing on page edges. Book slightly askew. Inside pages clean and binding is tight. Steinbeck dedicated this novel to "Gwyn", presumably a reference to his second wife Gwyndolyn Conger. (They divorced less than a year after The Wayward Bus was published.) The novel's epigraph is a passage from Everyman, with its archaic English intact; the quotation refers to the transitory nature of humanity.Although considered one of Steinbeck's weaker novels at the time of its original publication, The Wayward Bus was financially more successful than any of his previous works.
