Will be, yes, TRAVELS WITH CHARLEY. It's wonderful and available in the wonderful 50th Anniversary Edition from Amazon for about $8.99 (including shipping.) Here, under new/used:
At age 58 John Steinbeck and his venerable standard poodle, Charley, set out on a journey across America in a camper. For three months these companions traveled the nation, meeting friends, strangers, relatives and immersing themselves in the fabric of the country as it was at that time.
John Steinbeck (1902–1968) was born in Salinas, California. He worked as a laborer and a journalist, and in 1935, when he published Tortilla Flat, he achieved popular success and financial security. Steinbeck wrote more than twenty-five novels and won the Nobel Prize in 1962.
from the NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW:
"Pure delight, a pungent potpourri of places and people interspersed with bittersweet essays on everything from the emotional difficulties of growing old to the reasons why giant sequoias arouse such awe."
“I was born lost and take no pleasure in being found.”
--Travels with Charley, 1960
