Journal Entry 1 by Poobah1 from Lake Elmo, Minnesota USA on Tuesday, September 27, 2011
Steinbeck is my favorite author. I often pick up used titles of his to release. This is a good one. The story of him travelling the USA with his dog, Charley. If this is your fist Steinbeck, I'd recommend The Pearl, Of Mice and Men, In Dubious Battle and my all time favorite read The Grapes of Wrath. Enjoy!

Here's a little blurb that I attach to each book that I've registered:

Welcome to BookCrossing! It's a site for catching and releasing books and spreading the good karma of reading! Please make a journal entry when you FIND this book and let previous readers know how you came upon it. You may remain anonymous on this site if you like but it's very safe and spam free. We leave FREE books around for others to stumble upon...they read, and then re-release in a public place for someone else to enjoy. Of course you're welcome to keep the book if you prefer but it's more fun to watch them travel and to hear from them once in a while. I hope you enjoy the book but I especially hope you enjoy BookCrossing.

Many thanks, Poobah1
Make the *WORLD* your library!

This is going along as a bonus book to go along with the wishlist books I've sent to my Christmas exchange partner, 2011. I'm sending two books from their wishlist and two books that I've enjoyed. Merry Christmas!

To the lucky "Finder" of this book:

Hi and Thanks for picking up my book. You’ve stumbled upon a BookCrossing book. It’s a cool website for the catching and releasing of FREE books. I’ve stealthily stashed this book and you’ve come upon it. I may or may not have read this book (you can tell by the journal note above this one) but it’s yours now. Sometimes I just acquire books, don’t have a chance to read them and I set them free for others to share. Making the world a library! Scoot around on the site-it’s easy, safe and spam free. Please make a journal entry when you FIND the book and again when you re-release it. It’s a blast to watch them travel and to hear from them once in a while. It’s sort of like a message in a bottle and it passes on the good karma of reading! Have a great time with this book and I hope you like BookCrossing!

Thank you for this "extra" book! I did read part of this book years ago, but never finished it. I will give it another try and maybe get through it this time (I'm not sure why I didn't finish it last time).

Read this years ago. A long time fan of Steinbeck. Was planning a trip out west with RV and thought I would like to reread. Looking forward to spending quiet evenings with JS. Thanks for placing at a Panera's where I could find it. It is now in Pennsylvania.
