Quick Overview
The evolution of Steinbeck's art occurred over a decade, from the stories written as a student at Stanford University through 1934, when he drafted the stories of "The Long Valley" collection. This decade represented a critical period in Steinbeck's life. He keenly desired to be a writer but was in the process of discovering the artistic means to achieve that goal. The stories crafted during this period provide access to the developing mind of the artist. They reveal Steinbeck's experimentation with, and eventual mastery of, narrative points of view, character, plot, setting, and patterns of imagery. It is a dramatic revelation, and one that also discloses a great deal about the writer's novelistic triumphs of later years. This study makes extensive use of Steinbeck's notebooks and ledgers in examining the entire body of the writer's short stories in their chronological development. Using both textual and literary criticism, Timmerman discerns a great deal about Steinbeck's growth as a literary artist, his ideas

How we describe the condition of our books

We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)

New: Exactly as it says.

As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.

Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.

Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.

Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.

Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
