Travels with Charley.

First edition. Octavo, original cloth. Fine in a fine price-clipped dust jacket [not an issue point]. Inscribed by the author on the half title page, "For/ Dorline/ with welsh rats/ from/ John and Charley Steinbeck." Steinbeck used the term welsh rats in two of his novels. In Winter of Our Discontent, Ethan Hawley's Great Aunt mispronounced the word weltschmerz as "welsh rats."
