1954réf. 377801Salerno Italy: Ente Provinciale per il Turismo 1954. First edition first issue. 30 pp. Yellow printed paper wrappers some wear to wrappers. Interior clean in unrecorded dust jacket with woodcut of "Posetano" on front panel and "Auguri / Dorothy and Truman" printed on the inner flap some light wear along top edge of jacket otherwise its in near fine condition. First edition first issue. 30 pp. This copy specifically states "1954" on the inside front cover and would therefore precede the Italian edition published in 1955 as well as Goldstone & Payne's first English language edition. Variants have been noted see Bradford Morrow's Steinbeck catalogue which bear the date 1954 - whether this represents a different edition or later issue is unclear. Steinbeck's article had appeared in Harper's Bazaar for May 1953 and the Italian translation preceded the English version. This dust jacket is unrecorded.

A southern Italian tourism agency issued the present first separate edition of it in 1954.

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 books

réf. 06577New York: The Viking Press 1957. Steinbeck's Satirical Fantasy of Monarchy Restored A Political Fable - Light in Tone Sharp in Observation STEINBECK John. The Short Reign of Pippin IV. 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. New York: The Viking Press, 1957 unknown books

réf. 06582New York: The Viking Press 1962. The Writer's Task Is to Declare and Celebrate Man's Proven Capacity for Greatness" Steinbeck's Nobel Address - A Private Printing STEINBECK John Steinbeck. Speech Accepting the Nobel Prize for Literature. Stockholm December 10 1962. New York: The Viking Press 1962. One of 3200 copies printed for friends of the author and the publisher. Octavo 8 7/8 x 5 3/4 inches; 226 x 146 mm. 1-6 7-10 11-12 pp. Title-page printed in red and black. Photogravure portrait frontispiece. Publisher's original tan wrappers front cover lettered in red. A fine example. A stirring and eloquent manifesto delivered at the height of Steinbeck's career this Nobel Prize acceptance speech stands among the most concise and powerful statements on the purpose of literature in the twentieth century. Rejecting despair in an age shadowed by nuclear fear Steinbeck instead affirms the writer's duty to illuminate "the dark and dangerous dreams of man" while celebrating his enduring capacity for courage compassion and love. Privately printed in a limitation of just 3200 copies for presentation to friends of the author and publisher this slim pamphlet was never intended for wide distribution and remains one of the more elusive Steinbeck items. Its simplicity of form - plain wrappers restrained typography in red and black - only heightens the gravity of the text within. An uncommon survival in such fresh fine condition and a cornerstone piece for any serious Steinbeck collection - representing not merely the honor bestowed but the philosophy behind it.
