‎And it is wonderful that even Today. Book Mark: Books Make the Perfect Gift Visit Your Local Bookseller‎

‎New York: Viking 1952. First Edition Presumed. Single Sheet. Very Good-. 12mo - over 6�" - 7�" tall. Unrecorded and presumably rare piece of Steinback ephemera which we date to 1951/1952 located in a first edition of "East of Eden" 1952 and printing a Steinbeck text excerpted from his "Some Random and Randy Thoughts on Books" which appeared the prior year in "The Author Looks at Format" American Institute of Graphic Arts 1951. The first side reads: "And it is wonderful that even today with all competition of records of radio of television of motion pictures the book has kept its precious character. A book is somehow sacred. A dictator can kill and maim people can sink to any kind of tyranny and only be hated but when books are burned the ultimate in tyranny has happened. This we cannot forgive. People. automatically believe in books This is strange but it is so. Messages come from behind the controlled and censored areas of the world and they do not ask for radios for papers and pamphlets. They invariably ask for books. They believe books when they believe nothing else. - John Steinbeck" The second reads: "Book Mark decorative rule Books Make the Perfect Gift Visit Your Local Bookseller" decorative rule.

‎Archive of One Hundred and Fifty Original Production and Publicity Still Photographs for: OF MICE AND MEN‎

‎Los Angeles: United Artists 1939. One hundred and fifty 7.5 x 9.5 inch a few smaller borderless black & white stills. Generally very good to near fine a few corner creases one or two with signs of oxidation. An unusually comprehensive archive with trivial duplication of the production and publicity stills for the 1939 film adaptation of Steinbeck's novel directed by Lewis Milestone starring Burgess Meredith Lon Chaney Jr. et al. The still photographer for the film has generally been identified as Tom Evans. The collection offers unusually strong representation of the X P and H sequences in many instances representing contiguous runs of images within the negative sequences. A considerable number of the stills bear the studio's mimeographed cut-lines affixed to the back and a few bear rubber-stamped designations as "proof" prints. It would be difficult indeed to recreate such a near comprehensive collection of the stills associated with this film. United Artists unknown‎

‎1949. First Edition . Signed. ZANUCK Daryl STEINBECK John. Autograph letter signed. Pacific Grove California: November 4 1949. WITH: Viva Zapata! Screenplay. WITH: John Steinbeck and Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation� Legal Department. New York: Twentieth Century-Fox Film 1949 1951. Three items. Single original leaf 8-1/2 by 11 inches of onionskin letterhead in manuscript on the recto. WITH: Quarto 8-1/2 by 11 inches mimeograph manuscript in typescript on rectos only original printed yellow wrappers bound with brads as issued. WITH: Ten leaves of facsimile 8-1/2 by 11 inches loose. Together housed in a custom folding chemise and slipcase. $8000.November 4 1949 autograph letter signed by Steinbeck to film producer Daryl Zanuck reporting Steinbeck�s optimism at the progress of his original screenplay for the film Viva Zapata! Steinbeck�s letter in this rare collection with a May 16 1951 original final shooting screenplay for the film which premiered in 1952 starring Marlon Brando and directed by Elia Kazan with Steinbeck�s Oscar-nominated script hailed as a �towering achievement� unquestionably his finest work in the genre� housed together with ten loose leaves of facsimile documenting Steinbeck�s legal contracts on the film with Twentieth Century-Fox Film in a handsome custom folding chemise and half morocco slipcase.""Steinbeck's towering achievement in film is most embodied by Viva Zapata! a film Robert Morseberger regards as 'unquestionably his finest work in the genre� When Viva Zapata! finally appeared on the screen in 1952 it was the culmination not only of 20 years of study but also Steinbeck's apprenticeship in writing for Hollywood�Unlike F. Scott Fitzgerald William Faulkner or Ernest Hemingway� Steinbeck had great successes on the big screen� Over the course of his career Steinbeck was three times nominated for the screenwriting Academy Award while his films more generally garnered 25 Academy Award nominations ultimately winning four� On the film's release with Marlon Brando in the lead Viva Zapata! electrified audiences. It earned Steinbeck an Academy Award nomination for best story and screenplay; Marlon Brando earned an Oscar nomination for best actor while Anthony Quinn actually won the Oscar for best supporting actor. Indeed Morseberger ranks Viva Zapata! as one of the four 'most memorable films� placing it in the elite company of High Noon Singin' in the Rain and The Quiet Man"" Price ""Champion of the Common Man"" in Bloom John Steinbeck 47-48. The very scarce autograph letter in this collection entirely in Steinbeck's hand is dated three years before the film's 1952 premiere and many years after he began work on the screenplay. The letter�included with the ""shooting final"" screenplay of Viva Zapata! in the original wrappers of Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation�captures his near elation at this turning point in the project that consumed so many years of his life. Steinbeck who ""had been reading about Emiliano Zapata since the early 1930s"" here writes Fox producer Daryl Zanuck with evident relief about his screenplay Railsback and Meyer 411. The letter is on a single leaf of onionskin personal letterhead with his Pacific Grove address: ""John Steinbeck 147 Eleventh Street Pacific Grove California."" It reads: ""November 4 49 Dear Daryl: It was a brilliant thing to send me Jules Buck. He is a hell of a man. We work well together are going very fast and I think a good script is coming out of it. I am extremely pleased. Just a note John Steinbeck."" Together with Steinbeck's letter and the screenplay are ten loose facsimile leaves the file copies of legal agreements between Steinbeck and Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation including a four-page ""Modification Agreement"" dated ""November 23 1949"" and a six-page ""Assignment"" with the date of ""February 5 1951."" ""The idea for a screenplay on the life of the Mexican revolutionary Emiliano Zapata came to Steinbeck in the midst of writing the shooting script of The Pearl."" He went to Mexico in June 1948 to begin research on the figure he revered as ""'one of the greatest men who ever lived� Steinbeck continued to return to Mexico for short periods especially between July and November 1948 and later in January 1949. He prided himself with interviewing every eyewitness he could find"" Railsback &amp; Meyer 4110. Despite a journalistic diligence that surpassed the reportage behind his novel The Grapes of Wrath 1939 Steinbeck struggled with the screenplay and ""the more false starts he made the more frightened he became."" On returning to Mexico in 1949 he optimistically ""reported 'I think this script must be excellent� He had the old excitement again and he was 'writing like a fiend."" Yet that same fall he was back ""in Pacific Grove still struggling with Zapata� Nearly all his writing time over the past few years had been spent on Zapata"" Benson 626 630 650. The film did not become a reality until Steinbeck's friend director Elia Kazan ""obtained a development deal with producer Daryl Zanuck� At Zanuck's request Steinbeck sent what material he had and then Zanuck handed it over to his assistant producer and scenarist Jules Buck� who was taken aback when he was given a stack of paper some three or four inches thick. 'It was' Buck remembers 'a very definitive breakdown of the revolution the causes� it was magnificent� and of Zapata the history. A master's degree is what he had together with a Ph.D. Except it wasn't a screenplay� Zanuck asked Buck if he could get a script out of Steinbeck in about four weeks � John who had been 'in hiding' somewhere in Hollywood and Jules met and liked each other immediately."" Soon Jules traveled to Pacific Grove and settled in as the two began to work through the material. In a later interview Buck recalled one morning when he said ""'Okay John today's the day.' I typed 'Zapata' and then I said 'Give me the words' and by God he gave me the words� Jules sat at John's battered old IBM typewriter while John alternately sat paced the room or returned to a corner to think and work something out� He and Jules worked well together and their progress was very rapid� In fact they finished a first draft in eleven days"" Benson 653-4. The result was ""a draft both Zanuck and Kazan thought could be shaped into a shooting script. It was this manuscript that Kazan Steinbeck and Zanuck discussed at length during a long weekend� at Zanuck's Palm Springs home in spring 1950� Kazan and Steinbeck returned to New York where they put in an intense two months on the script Kazan sitting at the typewriter asking Steinbeck for new or revised dialogue"" Schickel Elia Kazan 237-8. Viva Zapata! premiered in early February 1952. Critics continue to praise Viva Zapata! as ""the best film produced from a screenplay by John Steinbeck"" Railsback &amp; Meyer 414.Also included here is the first English edition published the same year as the American first of Zapata: The Little Tiger 1991 which includes the previously unpublished introduction commentary and script for the film Viva Zapata! the screenplay was published in 1975 but the important introduction and commentary render this a new edition.
