Some offsetting to the half-title page near fine in a very good dust jacket. Jacket design by W.V. Eckhardt. The collaboration of two friends--one a novelist one a marine biologist--produced a volume in which fascinating popular science is woven into a narrative of man's dreams his ideals and his accomplishments through the centuries. Sea of Cortez is one of those rare books that are all things to all readers. Actually the record of a brief collecting expedition in the lonely Gulf of California it will be science to the scientist philosophy to the philosopher and to the average man an adventure in living and thinking. The teeming and wildly competitive world of the sand flats is seen in terms of history politics ethics and sociology; a starfish is important not only because it is a new variety but because it is essential to the delicate balance of the whole region in which it is found. Steinbeck and Ricketts are the opposite of "pure" scientists: it is not only their work that fascinates them but the complicated and enormously exciting implications of that work.

‎America and Americans.‎

‎New York: The Viking Press 1966. First edition of Steinbeck's final book. Quarto original half cloth illustrated cartographic endpapers. With 136 pages of photographs 24 in full color by 55 of the most prominent American photographers of the era including Ansel Adams Sam Siegel and Todd Webb. Association copy inscribed by the author on the half-title page "For John Updike with admiration John Steinbeck." American author John Steinbeck published his most notable works between 1937 Of Mice and Men and 1952 East of Eden and was awarded both the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1940 and Nobel Prize in Literature in 1962. One of the most prolific American authors from the early 1960s until his death in 2009 fellow recipient of the Pulitzer Prize John Updike identified Steinbeck as one of his literary heroes at a young age. Both writers' works explored themes of crises related to faith injustice and family dynamics applied to small town 'everyman' protagonists. Both Steinbeck and Updike wrote in a realist tradition featuring their own distinctively rich and imaginative vocabulary and style of prose. Near fine in a very good dust jacket. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. Jacket design by Christopher Harris. Photograph of Steinbeck to the rear panel by Paul Farber. From the library of John Updike. An exceptional association linking two of the greatest writers of twentieth century America. Steinbeck's final book America and Americans combines the talents of the Nobel Prize-winning author and 55 of the most prominent American photographers of the era. The result is a spectacular portrait of America with its vital array of scenic beauty and human variousness with rich feature articles exploring the American government American people Americans as they relate to their land and the paradox and dream of the pursuit of happiness.

Thomas Hart Benton prepared several works as publicity pieces for John Ford's 1940 film version of Steinbeck's novel most famously a version of THE DEPARTURE OF THE JOADS that was incorporated in several of the differing styles of posters. He also prepared a series of portraits of the characters but these were not incorporated in the posters but rather utilized in the theatre program that was offered at the opening exhibitions of the film. They were also reproduced in the form of six stills according to the negative numbers - only five are present here evidently in very limited quantities as they are quite scarce. Apart from an appearance by this same group at auction in 2008 we've not encountered another. 2oth Century-Fox unknown books‎

‎East of Eden.‎

‎New York: The Viking Press 1952. First Edition First State. Octavo green cloth hardcover red spine label 602 pp. Very Good with light foxing to covers and page edges; in a Good mylar protected dust jacket with edgewear that includes light chipping. Photographs gladly provided upon request. From dust jacket: .East of Eden is an American saga running in time from the Civil War to the First World War in place from a Connecticut farm to a California valley. Essentially it is the story of one family the Trasks -- a father and his twin sons and their errant mother. What happens to the Trasks against the background of what is happening to others gives the book its storytelling drive and also its human significance. Here is the infinite variety of life itself: scenes of viciousness and of deep tenderness passages of violent brutality side by side with stretches of cheerful contentment. There is heartbreak as well as comedy; meanness and corruption on one hand common kindness on the other. Its concern for individuals is intimate its humanity broad. The mood is by turns historic and personal reminiscent and inventive. Within the novel’s flexible frame the author finds room for lyrical flights and leisurely digressions that most writers would not dare permit themselves while at other points he writes with a staccato tenseness equaled only by the best of the “hard-boiled†school. The scope of East of Eden can hardly be suggested by an outline of the story. Adam Trask brings his strange wife in 1900 to settle in the Salinas Valley. John Steinbeck’s own forebears the Hamiltons -- a wonderfully gusty and varied crew -- had been in the valley for years before and through them we already know its history its colors and its moods and are at home in it when the Trasks arrive. We also know the story of the calculating girl whom Adam had found on his Connecticut doorstep and married. After twin sons are born Cathy leaves to return to a career more familiar to her and eventually to become the fabulous Kate owner of Salinas’s fanciest brothel. Cathy is possibly one of the most fascinating hateful characters in modern fiction. Her story might have been a novel in itself. The rich and respected Adam blighted within rears his sons with the help of a worldly-wise Chinese and with friendly advice from the Hamiltons. As the boys grow older the inevitable disclosure threatens and the reader watches with mounting tension to see how Aron the ‘good’ son and Caleb who carries the strains of both good and evil will stand up under the blow. Along with these there are a dozen other characters we come to know well. Chief of them are Steinbeck’s Hamilton grandfather a mellow and inventive Irishman and his tiny and determined wife; the big-hearted but self-tortured uncle Tom who stays on at the ranch; and Aunt Dessie who lives cheerfully for others. Finally there is the attractive young girl Abra who plays a determining role in the lives of the twins. Each is an individual rounded with life and the book is an assertion of the individual human soul with its God-given power to choose between good and evil. In recognizing this burden the characters take on a stature that makes them spokesmen for the struggling human race. The Viking Press, 1952. First Edition, First State. hardcover books‎
