"...You know I had nothing at all to do with the printing or distribution of the St. Katy book. I have only one copy of it. I really don't know where you can get a copy but I have heard they are rare and expensive. It was a tiny edition, you know. I can only suggest that you ask my publisher... John Steinbeck."
