This one which apparently was not published was the personal property of John and Elaine Steinbeck and was sold as part of the remains of their estate in February 2020. Betty and William Ward Beecher and the Steinbecks were apparently friends. The Beechers had books inscribed to them by John Steinbeck and the Steinbecks owned a few of Beecher's lithographs and paintings. <br/><br/> N.p., n.d. [but circa 1960] unknown books

19308465EN.p: n.p n.d. c. 1930’s. Both approximately 3†x 5â€. One photo is of John and Gwen Steinbeck holding hands striking a campy pose - she glancing dreamily off into the distance wearing a hat with a single extremely tall feather sticking straight up and he staring directly into the camera seemingly suppressing a grin wearing a now old-fashioned leather football helmet. The other is equally amusing with Gwen standing on a stone wall arm held high pointing dramatically into the sky while John has come up beside her and is taking liberties with the hem of her dress lifting it up and staring at her revealed legs. Both are blind stamped ‘JOHN STEINBECK’. Fine. n.p hardcover books
