Or if you're a real nostalgia hound, abebooks.com has several Armed Services Edition copies of Steinbeck books; these were printed for American soldiers using a press set for magazines, so they're an odd and pleasing sideways shape designed to fit in the breast pocket of a uniform. As far as I know, while Bibles regularly stopped bullets, no Armed Services Edition novels did so, though.

It's a pity that authors and their heirs don't have the same rights as painters - if you buy a painting or sculpture secondhand, the artist gets a residual, same with showings of TV shows or films. But with books, if they're sold secondhand the whole fee goes to the seller and not a penny to the writer.
