Richly Researched and Well Illustrated,
By Don Barthelmess "Don Barthelmess" (Santa Barbara, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME) The author spent considerable time and effort to interview living persons from the era to validate events and explain the true-life connections that inspired John Steinbeck's writings of Cannery Row. Readers and Cannery Row aficiondos will appreciate the numerous rare photographs as well as the author's notes and references throughout the book. Well done!

The Real Old Cannery Row Revealed,
By
This review is from: Real Life on Cannery Row: Real People, Places and Events That Inspired John Steinbeck (Paperback)
I'm one of the Cannery Row Steinbeck authorities that has been waiting for this book. Scrap Lundy's research on what's real and what isn't in John Steinbeck's "Cannery Row" unravels decades of bad journalism, careless academic attention, and a mountain of conjecture and misinformation. With this book, one of Steinbeck's best (Steinbeck biographer, Jackson Benson, claims its his "hands down" favorite Steinbeck work), readers of his 1945 jewel can know and appreciate the background of its characters, the origins of actual places Steinbeck used in his "fiction"--as well as those real places and people cleverly manipulated for the sake of Steinbeck's world famous "Cannery Row."
This great little book is now the indispensable companion reader to John Steinbeck's "Cannery Row"--as valuable to the reader for the pleasure of John Steinbeck's art, as for the serious student or researcher on the subject. A Steinbeck collector's library is now incomplete without it. --Michael K. Hemp, The History Company
