Although this book is primarily concerned with the works of John Steinbeck, the chapters on the collection process, information sources, and the language of collecting have many suggestions that would be useful to the collector of any modern author. For the Steinbeck enthusiast, a descriptive alphabetical list of editions will prove helpful in assembling a complete collection, and the illustrations of various book jackets will be of interest.

See NOTE below on Bookfinder's incorrect description of this book's content. Sharp corners. NO rubbing. NO fading. Square and tight. NO owner's name or bookplate. Crisp, clean and unmarked - obviously never read. 1986. First Edition. Very informative, annotated bibliography, price guide, and John Steinbeck collector's manual.

List of chapter notes. Annotated bibliography of sources. Index. Bound in the original pale blue cloth, stamped in black. NOTE: If you are looking at Bookfinder's description of this title (i.e. "About the book"), it is all wrong. This book is a guide to collecting Steinbeck's writings, in first and later editions. It is NOT a guide to "biographical works about Steinbeck" and contains no "photographs depicting the famous author with family and friends, from boyhood to adult." Bookfinder must be describing some other book, certainly not this one. First Edition. Hardcover. New/No dust jacket, as issued. Illus. by NOT a library discard. 8vo. 222pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping. Seller Inventory # 024571
