The Red Pony (Bantam Books, 1948)
A very nice looking edition with a movie tie-in (starring Myrna Loy and Robert Mitchum). This time The Grapes of Wrath is named as a selling point.
The Pastures of Heaven (Bantam Books, 1956)
Small alterations to the cover of the 1952 edition make this one different. East of Eden isn't mentioned any more. Instead it says on the cover that nearly eight million of Steinbeck's books have been sold in Bantam editions.
