Bradenton Florida: Opuscula Press 1986. First separate printing in book form limited to 300 hand-bound numbered copies this being copy #28. Octavo. 19 pp. Frontispiece photographic portrait of Steinbeck by Paul Farber. Edited and introduced by Robert F. Hanson September 1986. Dark brown buckram spine over brown cloth boards with a cream paper title label to the front cover; without dust jacket as issued. ISBN 0-912109-10-6. Goldstone & Payne C120 for the 1955 Holiday original. A fine copy. The first separate book-form appearance of Steinbeck's Holiday magazine essay on his birthplace published in June 1955 as part of the magazine's series in which American writers reflected on the towns of their childhood. Steinbeck had finished East of Eden three years earlier and the essay carries the same complicated feeling for Salinas that runs through the novel — fond exact and unsparing at once. He summons the Salinas of his own boyhood in the 1900s and 1910s and traces the town forward into the post-war agricultural city. Opuscula Press a small Florida imprint that reissued fugitive Steinbeck material produced this hand-bound edition "as a service to Steinbeck collectors." It remains one of the more attractive small-press Steinbeck productions uncommon on the market and sought by collectors building deep California shelves. SKU TO-2026-035 Opuscula Press hardcover

1937réf. 100479New York: Covici-Friede 1937. First edition. Near fine in a price-clipped good or better dustwrapper with some chipping near the bottom of the front flap fold and a large but faint dampstain. An uncommon play adapted by Steinbeck from his own novel. Steinbeck's stage adaptation condenses his novella into a three-act tragedy ideally suited to theatrical presentation. The play's dialogue-driven format strips away narrative contemplation rendering each character's thwarted ambitions through stark unadorned exchanges that intensify the work's central themes: the impossibility of economic independence during the Depression the profound isolation persisting within communal spaces and the brutal incompatibility between human vulnerability and a system demanding complete self-sufficiency. The inexorable march toward Lennie's death demonstrates how certain lives become expendable when they cannot conform to society's demands. Covici-Friede unknown
