[Charles Agvent]

Our new catalogue consists of archives, juvenilia, letters, signed 
books, and scarce material by or about three American writers: Thomas 
Merton, John Steinbeck, and Thornton Wilder. Included are SIGNED copies 
of The Seven Storey Mountain, The Grapes of Wrath, East of Eden, Our 
Town, etc. as well as an amazing archive of letters between Merton and 
his secretary, Ethel Kennedy's mother; likely one of the earliest 
Thornton Wilder letters in existence written at the age of 16 along with 
several fine archives of material; superb Steinbeck association copies 
and the author's archive for the first book about Steinbeck; and much 
more. Please visit:   http://www.erols.com/agvent
