A RARE AND UNIQUE ITEM

THE ONLY COPY AVAILABLE
AND
THE ONLY COPY LIKELY EVER TO BE AVAILABLE


John Steinbeck August 5, 1968, New York, 1968. None. Book Condition: Fine. First edition. The Original of John Steinbeck's Last Will and Testament. This is John Steinbeck's personal original of his Last Will and Testament, kept by him in his New York apartment. We presume that only two originals ever existed, this and one other, and that the other original was probated and duly filed in the public records upon Steinbeck's death. John Steinbeck died on December 20, 1968, barely 4 months after executing this unique and important document. The Will has been initialed "JS" at each page except the signature page, where Steinbeck has signed in his full name "John Ernest Steinbeck". The initials and signature are in blue ink. (We have not before seen a Steinbeck signature in his full name.) The Will also is duly Witnessed and housed in the ecru legal jacket of Stern & Reubens who drafted the Will. Steinbeck's Last Will and Testament is set forth on delicate onion skin paper and is in Fine condition, stapled into his lawyer's jacket by two staples at the top, and folded twice (producing three fold lines). This is, quite simply, Steinbeck's most important document as it governed the disposition of his rights and assets extant upon his death. A unique and collection-distinguishing item for the Steinbeck collector, as well as for any collector of Modern Literature. John Steinbeck's ORIGINAL LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT, INITIALED BY HIM AND SIGNED BY HIM "JOHN ERNEST STEINBECK". RARE. Bookseller Inventory # 00001631.

A UNIQUE ITEM.  RARE.  JOHN STEINBECK'S PERSONAL COPY AND THE ONLY COPY AVAILABLE ANYWHERE.  A COLLECTION-DISTINGUISHING ITEM.
