Journal Entry 1 by Secretariat from Carlsbad, California USA on Sunday, April 04, 2004

This is a very unusual Steinbeck book. It is a book of photographs with text by John Steinbeck. It is really essays by Steinbeck about America. The photographs are wonderful, but the writing is superb.  

Journal Entry 2 by Secretariat from Carlsbad, California USA on Wednesday, April 14, 2004

I found this wonderful book of photographs and essays by Steinbeck in a used book store. I was unaware that such a book existed and was thrilled by both the photographs showing the America of the 60s and the wonderful essays of Steinbeck. Very beautiful and informative. I'm including this in janaqq's bookbox.

I pulled this from janaqq's bookbox. This book looks really interesting and I do like Steinbeck. I plan on reading this and releasing next time I travel.

Thanks!

I'm not sure why, but I just couldn't get into this book. I'm sending it off to PokPok for a (future) Cannery Row release. 

Journal Entry 5 by PokPok from Vista, California USA on Monday, July 24, 2006

Hi Secretariat!! Hi luv2sewtjr!! Thanks for passing this book on to me, for my Cannery Row release project. I thought I was familiar with all of Steinbeck's works, but I was not familiar with this particular work. I suspect it is generally similar to Travels with Charley, from the respect that it's his reflection on America and Americans.

This book will eventually be released in Monterey or Salinas county. I will update the journal entry when my next venture there is actually scheduled, then again when it's been released. 

Journal Entry 6 by PokPok from Vista, California USA on Monday, December 04, 2006

I wanted to check in. 2006 was the first year, literally in 15 years, when I did not make at least one trip to Monterey. This was indeed unexpected. I still plan on saving this book for my Monterey mass release; I am sure I'll make it there sometime in 2007. Thank you for being patient; your book will be released in Monterey or Salinas area.
