Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. A Near Fine copy with a slight bump to the spine ends in a Near Fine dust jacket with some light wrinkling to head and heel of the spine.

These letters were never intended for publication and reflect his ongoing battle with the project and his observations on the events of the day. What these letters show is the flow of Steinbeck's mind and the nature of his creative process. Seller Inventory # 26107
