Netherlands: The Viking Press. Very Good in Good dust jacket. 1957. First Edition. Cloth. 188 pp. brownish orange cloth boards with yellow spine with copper gilt lettering. DJ in protective Brodart plastic wrap. DJ's spine is sunned a little shallow chipping at spine and flap ends small spots at ends of front flap 1" closed tear at back flap edge. Text is clean and light. <p> "The unpredictable Mr. Steinbeck has been having himself a ball with some of his contemporaries. This frothy extravaganza about French politics - and various other matters - is so full of fun and good natured satire that it almost bubbles over. It's clear that he has had a wonderful time writing it; and readers who don't hold it against a writer for changing his type will have a wonderful time reading it. There's a story here - of what happens to a retiring middle-aged astronomer suddenly drafted to rule the unruly French; of his teen-age glamour-struck daughter and her American swain son of the Egg King of Petaluma California; and of sundry members of the ancient nobility art dealers nuns guards gardeners politicians and plain people. But it would be criminal to try to tell more or to pretend that the story makes the book. This is the French Revolution upside down and Steinbeck at his most original."; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall .

Steinbeck, John
The Wayward Bus.
New York: The Viking Press 1947. First edition of this work by the Nobel Prize-winning writer. Octavo original cloth. Boldly signed by John Steinbeck on the front free endpaper. From the library of John and Carol Steinbeck with their stamp to the front pastedown. Carol Henning Steinbeck John Steinbeck’s first wife was instrumental in his early literary development sustaining the couple financially and offering editorial input during the years when Steinbeck struggled to establish himself as a writer. Their marriage which lasted from 1930 to 1943 coincided with the creation of some of his most important early works including Tortilla Flat 1935 and The Grapes of Wrath 1939 yet ultimately dissolved under the pressures of fame and Steinbeck’s personal restlessness. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Robert Hallock. An exceptional example most rare and desirable signed and from the writer's library. In his first novel to follow the publication of his enormous success The Grapes of Wrath Steinbeck’s vision comes wonderfully to life in this imaginative and unsentimental chronicle of a bus traveling California’s back roads transporting the lost and the lonely the good and the greedy the stupid and the scheming the beautiful and the vicious away from their shattered dreams and possibly toward the promise of the future. It was the basis for the 1957 film starring Jayne Mansfield Joan Collins Dan Dailey and Rick Jason. The Viking Press hardcover
