Content: The collection contains over
a thousand books in forty-seven languages, including, among
many others, Basque, Finnish, Farsi, Korean, Slovak, Turkish,
and Vietnamese. Though in many ways Steinbeck is considered
a quintessentially American writer, this collection demonstrates
the international reach of his work. Many of the rare and
hard-to-find foreign editions of Steinbeck's work brought
together here retain their visually interesting dustjackets.
