1960361749Los Angeles: Comedia Productions 1960. Ephemera. Very good. A production script for an undetermined production of this musical based on the characters from Steinbeck's Cannery Row. The initial 1955 production was widely panned but it has been produced in smaller theaters around the US. <br /> <br /> This version with Leslie Abbott's Comedia Productions imprint is undated but may be from the 1960s or 1970s. Abbott 1925–2012 spent most of his career in the San Francisco Bay Area where he taught at Diablo Valley College and directed more than 150 plays. Why this script has a Los Angeles address your cataloguer does not know.<br /> <br /> The script is a photocopy of a much photocopied script bound with prong fasteners into a blue paper folder. A costume designer has made note on various pages and on the verso back of the last leaf including "Pad Sandee's Boobs." Prong binding somewhat rusted. With notes from the bookseller Peter Howard Serendipity Books in Berkeley on the first page. Comedia Productions unknown

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.<br /> <br /> This dust jacket is unrecorded.

06590New York: The Viking Press 1948. Steinbeck in the Soviet Union - Words and Images by Two Masters<br /> A Russian Journal - With Photographs by Robert Capa<br /> <br /> STEINBECK John. A Russian Journal. With photographs by Robert Capa. New York: The Viking Press 1948.<br /> <br /> First edition first printing. Quarto 9 3/8 x 6 1/2 inches; 239 x 165 mm. iv 1-2 3-220 pp. Numerous photogravure illustrations throughout.<br /> <br /> Publisher's quarter yellow linen over light green buckram boards front cover and spine lettered in blue top edge stained blue. In the original color pictorial dust jacket. A fine copy in a fine dust jacket.<br /> <br /> A remarkable collaboration between John Steinbeck and the legendary war photographer Robert Capa A Russian Journal records their 1947 journey through the Soviet Union at the dawn of the Cold War. Determined to present an unfiltered view of everyday life the two set out to observe rather than interpret offering a rare and humanizing portrait of postwar Russia at a moment of deep geopolitical tension.<br /> <br /> Capa's photographs - direct unsentimental and often quietly powerful - perfectly complement Steinbeck's restrained and observant prose. Together they create one of the most compelling documentary works of the period notable for its refusal to conform to prevailing ideological narratives on either side.<br /> <br /> An unusually fine copy of a book seldom found in such pristine condition particularly in its original dust jacket. A cornerstone collaboration appealing equally to collectors of Steinbeck and of twentieth-century photography.<br /> <br /> Goldstone & Payne A29a. New York: The Viking Press, 1948 unknown
