Here too are photos of popular tourist spots like the El Tovar Hotel and the Navajo Bridge, as well as early conservationist faces of U.S. Presidents. Historical, collectible. Two books to enjoy.

The Grapes of Wrath was first published in the spring of 1939 by John Steinbeck, when America was still all too intimately involved with the Great Depression. Strangely, this book, which dealt so painfully with the miseries of a family becoming migrants, was destined for success, both critically and popular. The migration of a family from the Oklahoma Dust Bowl to California is magnificently presented to the reader, describing the family's subsequent exploitation by a ruthless system of agricultural economics. A Pulitzer Prize and a National Book Award were granted to Steinbeck for this work. A classic. Franklin Library (a division of Franklin Mint), published collectible books of high quality materials.
