Autograph Letter Signed.

JD36678n.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. n.p., John Steinbeck, December 13, 1950, first edition. unknown

ABOUT WARD RITCHIE Harry "Ward" Ritchie Los Angeles California June 15 1905--Laguna Beach California January 24 1996 was an American printer book designer book collector and writer of around 100 books. He was part of the Golden Age of fine printing that took place during the 1920s and 1930s in Southern California. Ritchie was also part of the Artists of the Arroyo Seco community. In 1930 Ritchie apprenticed in Paris with the renowned artist and printer Fran ois-Louis Schmied. Upon his return to the States Ritchie co-founded along with fellow printer Grant Dahlstrom and bookseller Jacob Jake Zeitlin the Rounce & Coffin Club. This club was created as a less formal alternative to the Zamorano Club where other bibliophiles gathered in Los Angeles and to which he was later welcomed in 1934. The following year he established the Ward Ritchie Press through which he published thousands of books over 750 designed by himself; his output included works by poets Robinson Jeffers Carl Sandburg Archibald MacLeish Carlyle MacIntyre librarian Lawrence Clark Powell novelist Alexandre Dumas and many others. In 1987 he gave the Englehard Lecture on Fine Printing: The Los Angeles Tradition at the Center for the Book at the Library of Congress. ABOUT THE PAMPHLET This elusive Steinbeck publication is a letter from Steinbeck to Arnold Gingrich editor of Esquire thanking him for sending a watch as a gift. The letter is full of Steinbeck humor noting that he had expected a watch when he graduated from high school but none was forthcoming and since he didn't actually graduate from Stanford University he likewise hadn't received a watch as a gift. This work was privately printed at the Ward Ritchie Press as the Christmas greeting for the year from the Cohns. The Cohns are notable for being the owners of House of Books in New York one of the pioneering Booksellers in modern first editions. CONDITION REPORT The book is in FINE to VERY FINE vintage condition. No condition issues to note. Looks fresh and crisp like the day it was published. Perhaps some nominal edge rubbing if being super picky! The custom slipcase is in FINE or better condition. A superior collectible copy of Steinbeck's rarest work!. Ward Ritchie unknown

Of Mice and Men.

1937115598New York: Covici-Friede 1937. First edition first issue with the word "pendula" present on page 9 and the dot between the 8's on p. 88 of Steinbeck's "marvelous picture of the tragedy of loneliness" Eleanor Roosevelt. Octavo original cloth. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. An exceptional example. John Steinbeck began Of Mice and Men as a childrenâ€™s story. â€œAlthough the finished novelette does not seem appropriate for childrenâ€”that intention was obviously abandonedâ€”the simplicity of its style and the clarity and precision of its imagery may well have been prompted by this original purposeâ€¦ â€ Benson 326. The result is â€œa sophisticated and artful rendering of the basic conflict between two worlds: between an idealized landscape and the real world with its pain and anguishâ€ Literary History of the American West. "A thriller a gripping tale . . . that you will not set down until it is finished. Steinbeck has touched the quick" The New York Times. Covici-Friede hardcover

Tortilla Flat

06581New York: Covici Friede 1935. Steinbeck's Breakthrough - The Rare Wrappered Issue A Likely Advance Issue One of Approximately 500 Copies STEINBECK John. Tortilla Flat. Illustrated by Ruth Gannett. New York: Covici Friede 1935. First edition wrappered issue of the author's first commercially successful novel. Octavo 7 1/2 x 5 1/4 inches; 191 x 133 mm. i-iv v-vi vii-viii 9-316 1 3 blank pp. Publisher's original sewn pictorial wrappers printed in blue. Spine darkened with a tiny chip at the foot and a short 1 1/2 inch split at the top of the front joint. Preserved in the likely original glassine wrapper. A very good well-preserved example of this fragile and elusive issue. Chemised in a blue cloth folder and housed in a quarter dark blue morocco slipcase spine with five raised bands ruled and lettered in gilt in compartments. The rare wrappered issue of Tortilla Flat produced in a small limitation - generally estimated at approximately 500 copies - at the time of first publication. Though bibliographers Goldstone and Payne note that there is no conclusive evidence that this issue precedes the standard cloth binding it has long been regarded in the trade as an advance or trial issue likely intended for early distribution review or promotional purposes. Fragile by nature and seldom encountered in presentable condition copies retaining their original glassine are particularly scarce. This issue marks the turning point in Steinbeck's career: Tortilla Flat established both his reputation and his distinctive narrative voice paving the way for In Dubious Battle 1936 and The Grapes of Wrath 1939. A desirable and increasingly difficult Steinbeck issue especially in unrestored condition. New York: Covici Friede, 1935 unknown
