About This Item
New York: John Day Company, 1927. First Edition thus. Hardcover. Very Good. Warmly inscribed by John Steinbeck on verso of half-title page: "John Steinbeck to his estimable elegant and virtuous friend Toby Street this tome presents". Webster "Toby" Street was a college pal, and the two remained close friends for many years, with their letters collected. Steinbeck's early effort "To a God Unknown" is indebted to a play abandoned by Street; Steinbeck names a drink after Street in Sweet Thursday. Original cloth, a bit worn, but hard to find flaws with such an outstanding association copy.
