Steinbeck (John) America and Americans, original typescript, 146pp., preserved in brown wrappers, clamp binding, note from the author "Second carbon | of | Second typescript" on upper cover, this slightly trimmed and affecting inscription, light finger-soiling, some offsetting, edges bumped, covers rubbed, 4to, [1966]. *** The last work published in Steinbeck's lifetime. In 1964, the new head of Steinbeck’s publisher Viking, Thomas H. Guinzburg, approached Steinbeck with the idea of writing a preface for a photobook: “John approached the project with the understanding that it would be a short ‘commercial’ job that he could do in a couple of weeks, but as he became more involved, what had started out in his mind as a sort of ‘booklet’ was transformed into a collection of essays to accompany the photos....” (Benson 955). Frustrated with this project, Steinbeck threw himself into America and Americans, completing what he would consider the final title in his moral trilogy that includes The Winter of our Discontent and Travels with Charley. America and Americans is really a companion piece to Travels with Charley, containing further reflections which didn’t make it into the earlier work. The introduction notes that “For centuries America and the Americans have been the target for opinions – Asiatic, African and European – only these opinions have been called criticism, observation, or, God help us, evaluation. Unfortunately, Americans have allowed these foreign opinions the value set on them by their writers. For our part, we have denounced, scalded, celebrated and lied about facets and bits and pieces of our own country and countrymen; but I know of no native work of inspection of our whole nation and its citizens by a blowed-in-the-glass American."Provenance: The Mary Steinbeck Dekker Family Collection.

Steinbeck (John) The North American Review, vol.236, nos. 5 and 6 (November and December 1933) and vol.237 no.4 (April 1934), 3 vol. bound as one, author's own copy signed "John Steinbeck" and "J.E. Steinbeck" on title or upper covers of each vol., additionally stamped "This book belongs to Carol and John Steinbeck" to title of November 1933 issue, upper joint cracked, leaves a little toned with occasional finger-soiling marks, original brown paper-covered boards, pencil and watercolour of nude woman reading by Carol Steinbeck on upper cover, upper cover of first issue and lower cover of last issue used as pastedowns, light surface toning and marking, spine a little creased, spine ends a little chipped, [Goldstone & Payne C9, C10, C11], 8vo. *** Steinbeck’s own signed copy of his North American Review appearances, featuring “The Red Pony”. The three issues bound here each feature a Steinbeck story: "The Red Pony" (November 1933); “The Great Mountains” (December 1933); and "The Murder" (April 1934). When Steinbeck's agents published "The Red Pony" with The North American Review, the writer and his wife Carol were overjoyed with the meagre $90 royalty check.Steinbeck's nephew-in-law was David Heyler, a keen supporter of the author who began building a collection of Steinbeckiana over the years, to which the writer himself contributed. In various letters to Heyler, Steinbeck mentions some of his offerings to the collection: “today I packed up a bunch of junk and put it in a box...oddities and several manuscripts that have never been printed” (Steinbeck to Heyler, November 19, 1956).A number of books bearing the "Carol and John Steinbeck" ownership stamp made their way to Heyler's collection, including this copy, which was likely as part of the "incunabula" (March 13, 1953) or “bunch of junk” as mentioned in his letters. Provenance: The Mary Steinbeck Dekker Family Collection.
