Book Description

Publication Date: February 5, 2002

The Centennial boxed set includes: East of Eden, The Grapes of Wrath, Of Mice and Men, Cannery Row, The Pearl, and Travels with Charley in Search of America.

@IAmWithSam Lennie came back into the cabin with that look on his face and I said, Lennie, did you kill another woman?

He told me he had done it again, he thought. Why do I get stuck with the dangerously disabled? Did Forrest Gump ever hurt anyone?

By Matthew J. Bailey

Format:Paperback

excellent excellent EXCELLENT! what a set! my only problem is that penguin continues to ignore the fact that they should be printing on acid-free paper!! i don't get this? such a leading company, with amazing products, yet, how long will these books actually last before they start to deteriorate?

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Steinbeck Box Set! February 4, 2002

By A Customer

Format:Paperback

Although not all of John Steinbeck's great books are include, there are 6 very good choices: Cannery Row, East of Eden, The Pearl, The Grapes of Wrath, Of Mice and Men, and Travels with Charley. The Box containing these new Centennial paperbooks is beautifully constructed, as are the paperback books themselves. This set is a must for Steinbeck Lovers/Collectors! Happy 100th Birthday, Mr. Steinbeck!

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome collection October 24, 2005

By Monarch

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

I just moved to Salinas, CA when I ordered this set. I had never read John Steinbeck before, and thought this was a good time to start. Wow was I in for a treat! Phenomenal poetic language, incredible story lines, wonderful location descriptions. How exciting it is to read such stories taking place in the very settings I'm exploring now! I recommend this to others who haven't ever been here either, you may just find yourself with another destination on your "places to go list."

Boxed up Classics? Feels like a gift idea. I've read everyone of these books, usually as library editions, and the boxed set does not appeal to me. Read more
