Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck (Easton Press), illustrated by Fletcher Martin, is a collector’s masterpiece that pairs Steinbeck’s devastating novella with one of the most powerful visual interpretations of Depression-era America. This edition features Martin’s original 1937 lithographs—created for the book’s first illustrated release—which capture the story’s raw emotional core through stark, muscular drawings.
Bound in Easton Press’s finest chestnut-brown leather, the volume is gold-tooled with Art Deco geometric patterns echoing the Salinas Valley’s furrowed fields. Martin’s six original illustrations are reproduced on heavy matte paper, preserving the gritty texture of his lithographic crayon work—a deliberate contrast to the edition’s luxurious materials, mirroring Steinbeck’s juxtaposition of human fragility against California’s harsh beauty. The volume includes Steinbeck’s unedited text, including the controversial final scene often censored in school editions, and a new preface by Martin reflecting on his 1937 collaboration with the author (they traveled to migrant camps together for research).
