"The Book" on Cannery Row is now redesigned, fully indexed, and updated in a new size (8-1/2" x 11"), with silver
foil title (and silver spine title), in state-of-the-art stochastic imaging and printing of 178 archival photos from the
Pat Hatahway Collection of California Views (up from 124 photos), illustrating the evolution Cannery Row from
its Native American origins to its demise as the "Sardine Capital of the World" in the last century's most noteable
ecolological and socio-economic disaster.

This book also serves as an indispensable companion reference to all of John Steinbeck's Cannery Row literature:
"Cannery Row" (1945), "Sweet Thursday" (1954), and "Log From The Sea of Cortez" (1951). 178 archival photos
from the Pat Hathaway Historical Photo Collection of California Views illustrate the evolution of the Monterey
Peninsula from its earliest inhabitants to the socio-economic disaster following the disappearance of the once
"inexhaustible" supply of sardines.

With this book's complete and accurate site index and detailed map of Cannery Row's historic district, you can locate
historic and Steinbeck sites, many of which appear in the high resolution digital photos in this book. The authoritative information in this unique history and guidebook are the result of twenty years of intense oral histories conducted from
the 1980s to the present by researcher and author Michael K. Hemp with the Row's surviving cannery workers, business people, friends and relatives of John Steinbeck and his closest friend and mentor, pioneering marine biologist Ed Ricketts,
the fictional "Doc" in Steinbeck fiction.
