Wear to corners and spine ends light browning to page edges very good minus in custom archival mylar cover. JOHN STEINBECK 1902 – 1968 was one of the most widely read authors of the 20th century. Much of Steinbeck's work employs settings in his native central California. In 1930 Steinbeck met the marine biologist EDWARD RICKETTS 1897-1948 who became a close friend and mentor to Steinbeck during the following decade teaching him a great deal about philosophy and biology. Ricketts operated a biological lab on the coast of Monterey selling biological samples of small animals fish rays starfish turtles and other marine forms to schools and colleges. Between 1930 and 1936 Steinbeck and Ricketts became close friends and Steinbeck's wife Carol began working at the lab as secretary-bookkeeper. Steinbeck had already published The Grapes of Wrath and Of Mice and Men when he co-authored Sea of Cortez with Ricketts. A narrative of a biological expedition in the Gulf of California the work combines scientific observations with personal reflections drawing parallels between human and marine life. Over 550 species are described that in retrospect reveal that ecological disruptions had already affected the Gulf by 1940. Ricketts who died in 1948 was inspiration for the character of "Doc" in Steinbeck's Cannery Row published in 1945. Steinbeck won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1962. Viking Press hardcover
réf. 06589New York: The Viking Press 1941. Steinbeck and Ricketts - Science Friendship and the Gulf of California First Edition of Sea of Cortez STEINBECK John. Ricketts Edward F. Sea of Cortez. A Leisurely Journal of Travel and Research. New York: The Viking Press 1941. First edition first printing. Octavo 9 1/4 x 6 inches; 235 x 152 mm. x 598 pp. Forty pages of inserted plates many in color. Publisher's green linen over boards front cover and spine lettered in silver map endpapers printed in blue top edge stained orange. Neat ink names on front paste-down. In the original color printed dust jacket extremities a little rubbed with a 3/4-inch closed tear to lower front panel. A near fine copy in a very good dust jacket. An important and unusual work in the Steinbeck canon Sea of Cortez documents the 1940 marine expedition undertaken by Steinbeck and his close friend and collaborator Edward F. Ricketts. Blending scientific observation with philosophical reflection and travel narrative the book is as much a meditation on ecology and human interconnectedness as it is a record of biological collecting along the Gulf of California. The work is notable for its hybrid structure combining a detailed scientific catalogue with Steinbeck's narrative journal - later distilled by Steinbeck into The Log from the Sea of Cortez 1951. Copies of the original 1941 edition particularly in unrestored dust jacket are increasingly difficult to locate in collectible condition. A highly desirable Steinbeck first representing one of the most intellectually ambitious collaborations of his career. Goldstone & Payne A14a. New York: The Viking Press, 1941 unknown

1941réf. 181868New York: The Viking Press 1941. Men really need sea-monsters in their personal oceans First edition. Steinbeck and Ricketts's account of their six-week marine collecting expedition of 1940 contains "more of the whole man John Steinbeck than any of his novels" Lewis Gannett. Steinbeck was greatly influenced by the marine biologist Ricketts 1897-1948 whose "acceptance of people as they were and of life as he found it was remarkable articulated by what he called nonteleological or 'is' thinking. Steinbeck adapted the term and the stance. His fiction examines 'what is'" ANB. The narrative section by Steinbeck includes their "philosophical musings as well as keen observations on Mexican peasantry hermit crabs and 'dryball' scientists" ANB. It is appended by Ricketts's scientific catalogue which was dropped when Steinbeck's narrative was republished as The Log From the Sea of Cortez 1951. Octavo.

A Fabrication. New York: The Viking Press 1957. First edition first issue. Octavo 8 x 5 3/8 inches; 201 x 137 mm. 1-10 11-188 4 blank pp. Publisher's quarter yellow linen over salmon patterned boards spine lettered in red top edge stained red. Neat ink signature on front free endpaper dated "4-11/57." Original color pictorial dust jacket spine very slightly faded with minor rubbing to extremities. A fine copy in a near fine dust jacket. A late Steinbeck curiosity - part political satire part whimsical allegory - imagining the improbable restoration of monarchy in modern France. Written during the 1950s the novel reflects both Cold War anxieties and Steinbeck's growing interest in European political culture filtered through a light almost playful narrative voice. While less overtly serious than his earlier major works Pippin IV offers a pointed meditation on power legitimacy and the absurdities of governance. Goldstone & Payne A38a.
