Although critically it is an undervalued book Viking printed 100000 copies of The Wayward Bus. Firsts:17:1 Condition: Light shelf wear.

ref. JD35566n.p. J. Wilson McKenney 1959 first edition. A broadside that excerpts an article on teachers originally written for and published by the "CTA Journal" in November 1955 this is one of the great Steinbeck rarities so rare that it is virtually unknown it is one of only 12 copies hand-set and printed by McKenney so stated McKenney was the printer for the "CTA California Teachers Association Journal" as well as the magazine's editor he had also been a book publisher via his Wilmac Press he was able to gain approval of his printing this broadside only after agreement between himself Steinbeck and his agents that the print-run would be small enough so as to be not commercially viable the broadside measures c.10X14 inches the text is about the three teachers who were most important in Steinbeck's life he specifically mentions Ed Ricketts by number this would be the second rarest Steinbeck collectible it is so rare that no Steinbeck collection public or private is known to have a copy not recorded by Goldstone & Payne Morrow or Holmes THIS WAS THE PRINTER'S OWN PERSONAL COPY the verso is inscribed by his widow thusly "My husband was J. Wilson McKenney. One of his greatest accomplishments was this Steinbeck broadside. This was his own personal copy which I now inscribe to Jim Dourgarian and his daughter Tracy. Mariam McKenney. 6/6/89" now housed in a wood and glass frame this is one of those items that can actually be called rare. Aged but framed to visually eliminate that age presents as fine. n.p., J.

1996ref. 1697Ireland: Salmon Poetry 1996. First edition. Hardcover. Fine/Very good. A neat association copy not signed but laid in is a postcard written and signed by both Adrienne Rich and Irish poet Eavan Boland who wrote the eight-page foreword to this Irish edition of Rich's selected poems. The postcard depicts John Steinbeck on 17 Mile Drive in Carmel on its front and is addressed to Boland's husband Kevin Casey in Dublin. Rich writes: "Dear Kevin we missed you here today in 'East of Eden' country! It's good news that you & E. & S. are coming in March -- I hope very much to see you all then. Adrienne." Boland follows: "We had a lovely lovely day in Salinas. Much much love -- E." Steinbeck was born and raised in Salinas Boland taught at Stanford where Steinbeck went to college and Rich lived in Santa Cruz and also for a time taught at Stanford--a nice Northern California literary association all around. Also laid in on two printed pages is an exchange of emails between Rich and Boland forwarded to Casey in which Rich sends unexpected regrets about not being able to travel to Ireland and sends a list of poems she planned to read at an event presumably from this book while giving Boland permission to read other poems as she'd like. Rich was one of the twentieth century's most influential feminist poets and won the National Book Award for Diving Into the Wreck. Boland championed the role of women in Irish history in her verse and was the winner of a Lannan Literary Award among many other international honors. A fine book in a very good jacket with light sunning greening to the spine and otherwise on trace edge wear. Salmon Poetry hardcover
