The plot features an unlikely cast of characters, including a marine biologist, a grocer, a restaurateur, and a group of local vagabonds. The plot takes place on a grungy street with "the gathered and scattered, tin and iron and rust and splintered wood, chipped pavement and weedy lots, junk heaps, sardine canneries of corrugated iron, honky tonks, restaurants and whore houses, and little crowded groceries, and laboratories and flophouses." The actual street in Monterey has since been renamed "Cannery Row" in honor of this iconic novel. Cannery Row is a Depression-era novel set in Monterey, California. An excellent copy with only some minor fading to spine, else fine. New York: The Viking Press, 1945 First edition, advance issue in the publisher's blue wrappers.
