Softcover. Condizione: Good. Adopting the structure and themes of the Arthurian legend, John Steinbeck created a Camelot on a shabby hillside above the town of Monterey, California, and peopled it with a colorful band of knights. At the center of the tale is Danny, whose house, like Arthurs castle, becomes a gathering place for men looking for adventure, camaraderie, and a sense of belonging-men who fiercely resist the corrupting tide of honest toil and civil rectitude.As Nobel Prize winner Steinbeck chronicles their deeds-their multiple lovers, their wonderful brawls, their Rabelaisian wine-drinking-he spins a tale as compelling and ultimately as touched by sorrow as the famous legends of the Round Table, which inspired him.

Prima edizione
Pacific Grove, John Steinbeck, December 8, 1948, first edition. This is a letter to Ed Ricketts Jr. on Steinbeck's familiar ruled yellow paper carrying his Pacific Grove stamped address, a total of 13 lines, Steinbeck is looking for the "circulating pump we used to use on the pans of animals?" Steinbeck is looking to set up a small aquarium in his house and would like to use the pump rather than buying another as "they are quite expensive," he invites the famed marine biologist's son to visit and says, "Not much changes here. I'm trying to get some work done and maybe I'm succeeding. I don't know yet.". Folded, else very good.

Prima edizione
n.p., John Steinbeck, December 13, 1950, first edition. The letter is to Ed Ricketts, Jr., the son of his best friend, famed marine biologist Ed Ricketts who died in a car crash two years previously, Steinbeck writes, "I think you recently received a letter from my publisher. It is very important that you answer it as soon as possible. I think your father would like to have you do this. You will remember that I did what I could while I could. Please do hurry along a reply. I shall be greatly inconvenienced if you do not. Sincerely, John. P. S. I had a long letter from Toni (the former wife of the elder Ricketts) recently. She sent a picture of her baby. Have you any (?) yet? J.," it is likely that the letter from Steinbeck's publisher had to do with the planned Log From the Sea of Cortez that Viking published in 1951. Folded, else very good.
Editore: Los Gatos, John Steinbeck, January 5, 1938, 1938
Da: James M. Dourgarian, Bookman ABAA, Concord, CA, U.S.A.
Los Gatos, John Steinbeck, January 5, 1938, first edition. This two-page letter in reality is the manuscript for a primary first edition by this Pulitzer/Nobel Prize-winning author, the book in question is titled The First Watch, cited in the Steinbeck bibliography as Goldstone & Payne A26a, Morrow 199 and 200, published by The House of Books (Louis Henry and Marguerite Cohn) printed by the Ward Ritchie Press in 1947 in an edition limited to 60 copies (plus a few over-runs) as a Christmas gift, 50 copies were for their use while the first 10 numbered copies with an envelope similarly numbered were designated for Steinbeck himself, the lengthy letter (eight paragraphs, a total of 69 lines) is addressed to Arnold Gingrich, editor of "Esquire," thanking him for the gift of a watch which, as it turns out, was the first watch given him, the letter is full of Steinbeck's usual humor, he writes, "I am swathed in a kind of wonder and in a little fear. I am quite sure you could not have known that in me you had probably the most profound, double -barrelled, synchro-mesh,watch tragedy the world has even known," he goes on how he anticipated a watch as a gift when he was near graduation from grammar school "when Elgin and Waltham were explaining in full pages the remoteness of success possibility to a watchless person, I must admit that a little hope flickered. And so I graduated --- and I got a signet ring," he goes on, "I hopeMy grades in high school indicate a high degree of introspection and brooding rather than a low I. Q. In my bitterness I put them down simply to the fact that I had no watch," his anticipation was crushed when he received a waterman's pen and pencil set for graduating high school, then he went to college, he writes, "By that time my time sense was so shriveled that it effected all my values, my morals, my thirst, my appetites and my politics," he goes on, "I knew that if I graduated I might get a watch because there were the advertisements again, and this time they made no bones about people who tried to buck the system without Elgins and Walthams. I just didn't have the nerve. I didn't graduate," once again there was no watch, except for this one from Gingrich, he writes, "I wonder if such things always come too late. I wonder if I can go back. I wonder for that matter if I can tell time!" included with Steinbeck's letter are two letters from the Cohns to David Heyler, husband (and book collector) of the daughter of Steinbeck's youngest sister, Mary, the first, dated March 27, 1953, explains the origin of The First Watch, Marguerite Cohn writes, "We purchased a collection of Steinbeck firsts and included therewith was a typed letter signed (which we still own) which constituted the manuscript for our booklet. We thought it was worth preserving in a more permanent form and approached Mr. Steinbeck for his permission," the letter goes on to quote Heyler other Steinbeck items after which she writes "Someday when you get ready to publish your bibliography let us have your list of items and we shall check without records to see if there is anything lacking and we are sure our collectors would lend you the item for you to collate," the second letter, signed in full by Mrs. Cohn, dated May 3, 1957, was written after Heyler and the Cohns had finally met, she sends another copy of The First Watch ($15!!!) and sends on approval "the original Steinbeck letter to Gingrich which is the manuscript of The First Watch. The price written in the corner is in my husband's writing but I will give you 10% off making it $45 if it interests you, see Steinbeck: A Life in Letters pages 151-152 which reprints the letter in a truncated form. All three letters are folded for mailing and include some markings and notations plus a few paperclip marks, overall very good.
