STEINBECK JOHN
Two Original Black & White Comic Photographs of John Steinbeck and His Wife Gwen
N.p: n.p n.d. c. 1930’s. Both approximately 3†x 5â€. One photo is of John and Gwen Steinbeck holding hands striking a campy pose - she glancing dreamily off into the distance wearing a hat with a single extremely tall feather sticking straight up and he staring directly into the camera seemingly suppressing a grin wearing a now old-fashioned leather football helmet. The other is equally amusing with Gwen standing on a stone wall arm held high pointing dramatically into the sky while John has come up beside her and is taking liberties with the hem of her dress lifting it up and staring at her revealed legs. Both are blind stamped ‘JOHN STEINBECK’. Fine. n.p hardcover books

Evocative Steinbeck story or "mood piece" imagining a decorated black pilot returning to his hometown cheered by his neighbors and welcomed by his father in the house he grew up in with the remark: "Son - every black man in the world is going to fly with your wings."<br/><br/>In his cover letter to his friend Burgess Meredith who served in the Air Force during the war he writes:<br/><br/>"DEAR BUZZY:<br/><br/> A different version of the following was done for overseas broadcast to the troops by O.W.I. This is a different version. I don't know whether you would like to use it or not. It has an odd length. I might be a good idea to use it in some one of your shows. If you want it you are quite welcome to it. It was written against a background of music imagined music I mean. Should you desire to use it I think the story itself will suggest the music. Let me suggest however that the music be soft sustained and all of one piece and that it do not attempt to be directly descriptive of the piece but rather of the spirit of the piece. I would suggest that you yourself read it using the beautiful technique you used in "The Forgotten Village" . the soft reading that seems not to be reading at all. This is pure mood and would have to be delivered like soft music. Anyway there it is and you're welcome to it - if you want it."<br/><br/>Office of War Information for which Steinbeck worked during the WW II. <br/><br/>UNPUBLISHED until 2014 when the revived Strand Magazine published a version based upon a different typescript from the Steinbeck papers at HRC; a unique draft or variant copy of this moving war-time sketch.<br/><br/>From the Estate of BURGESS MEREDITH. unknown books

Original color studio lobby card for A MEDAL FOR BENNY
Los Angeles: Paramount Pictures 1945. Vintage color 11 x 14" color lobby card. Small crease in upper margin tiny exhibition pinholes one each in upper and lower margins trace of dust soiling on verso otherwise very good or better. A rendering in color the film was a b&w release of a somewhat uncharacteristic i.e. stereotypically comedic action shot of three of the principals in this film dealing with the repercussions of acknowledgement of military heroism in a small community of Paisanos near Santa Cruz. The film was based on a screenplay by Jack Butler which was in turn based on a collaborative story co- written by John Steinbeck and Jack Wagner and directed by Irving Pichel starring Dorothy Lamour Arturo de Córdova Mikhail Rasumny and J. Carrol Naish. Steinbeck and Wagner's original story was nominated for an Academy Award. Paramount Pictures unknown books

Los Angeles: Paramount Pictures 1944. Two volumes each foliated in reel/page format as: 11097101110108 leaves. Quarto. Mimeographed typescript printed on rectos only. Second item stapled at left margin first formerly stapled. Some corner creases "Master File Copy" and production number stamps on title leaf of first item pencil annotations name and ink file number on title leaf of second. Very good. Two late production states of the script for the 1945 film based on a story idea by Jack Wagner cowritten with John Steinbeck and adapted as a screenplay by Frank Butler. The release dialogue script records a print totaling 51 more feet than the censorship script. Irving Pichel directed and Dorothy Lamour J. Carrol Naish and Arturo de Cordova led the cast. Obviously little apart from Steinbeck's treatment for the film the Valentine collection included a carbon typescript may be easily identified as purely Steinbeck's work; however nothing relating to the script saw lifetime publication so even continuity scripts such as these take on some significance for Steinbeck scholars.

Bombs Away: The Story of a Bomber Team
New York: The Viking Press 1941. 8vo. 185 pp. 60 black-and-white photographs by John Swope. Original decorated cloth. A very good copy without the jacket. FIRST EDITION. A wonderful association copy warmly inscribed by 8 of the 10 members of the first crew of the B-24 Liberator Bomber "Billie B" to the woman for whom the plane was named by its first pilot 1st Lt. Joseph Robins Littlepage. Nearly full-page inscriptions by the pilot navigator and co-pilot in blue ink on the front pastedown and the front free endpaper as well as by the crew engineer assistant crew engineer radioman assistant radioman and one of the gunners in blue ink on the rear free endpapers. The pilot's inscription reads "To Billie - / From the skipper to her namesake. There isn't much I could tell you other than we are just another combat crew tryin to bring our standards up to the finest ship ever built 42-40076 the Billie "B" / JR Littlepage / First Pilot" The navigator's inscription reads "May 16 1943 / Hi Billie - / Tho I haven't had the pleasure of meeting you I feel that I already know you. However I still have hopes of meeting you in the near future. In the meantime I'll keep doing my darndest to navigate your name sake safely to her targets and back again. / Best wishes from the navigator / James H. Scholl / Gonzales Texas" The co-pilot's inscription reads "Hello Billie - / We are all waiting for the day that we can introduce you to the "Billie B." However from the way Joe talks it won't be a fair comparison. We will all be seeing you. / Until then - George L. Goddard / co-pilot". The inscription by S/Sgt. Harold A. Denison Asst Crew Engineer is a charming 4-line attempt at poetry. The other inscriptions are by S/Sgt. Thomas R. Brady Jr. Gunner T/Sgt. Cyril B. Cluff Jr. Radioman/Gunner and S/Sgt. Clifford H. Muhlhausen Asst. Radioman. Below that of S/Sgt. Harold Hutton Justus Crew Engineer is this moving addition by the pilot "Note - / I'd rather fly without one of the engines than leave him on the ground loyal to the crew faithful at his work and loves the ship as I do -- the Air Corps has none as good - the country none better - / J.R.L." In addition the pilot has annotated 49 of the 60 B&W photos the accompany Steinbeck's journalistic account of the training of a typical flight crew. The notes are often amusing: the captions of pictures of a B-17 and a B-24 on facing pages were modified to read "Boeing B-17E commonly known as the Flying Fortress Junk Heaps" and "Consolidated B-24 commonly known as the Liberator Billie 'B'"; in many cases they are merely informative aimed at telling her name sake about crew activities and features of the plane; and sometimes touching beneath the chapter opening photograph of a pilot 1st Lt. Littlepage has added "And don't think he's not scared". The only members not represented are 1st Lt. Leonard Barton Conway Bombadier and S/Sgt. William Posledni Gunner. The newly commissioned B-24 Liberator Bomber "Billie B" 42-40076 was assigned to the 13th Air Force 307th Bombardment Group "The Long Rangers" 370th Bomber Squadron and was first stationed at Carney Field Guadalcanal on May 29 1943 with this crew flying missions until July 3 when the plane was grounded for repairs. On July 6 the 10-man crew was assigned to another plane for a bombing mission to Bougainville Island and the plane and crew was lost at sea on its way back from the Philippines. The "Billie B" was assigned to a replacement crew and went on to serve valiantly in the South Pacific until the end of August 1944. . <br/><br/> The Viking Press hardcover books

Steinbeck John and E. F. Ricketts
Sea of Cortez: A Leisurely Journal of Travel and Research.
New York: The Viking Press 1941. First edition of this classic work. Octavo original cloth cartographic endpapers. Presentation copy inscribed by John Steinbeck on the title page. 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.
