Steinbeck's Reading
Dr. Robert DeMott's seminal work, Steinbeck's Reading: A Catalogue of Books Owned and Borrowed, is available below as PDFs, by permission of the author. This work has been a major resource for Steinbeck researchers and students since it was first published by Garland in 1984. Unfortunately, Steinbeck's Reading is no longer in print. In the interest of making this important work more available to the public, Dr. DeMott proposed to the Center that its web-site host the book in digital form. The Center is honored to do so.
