 | | James M. Cain's personal ribbon copy of a story that was submitted to Esquire magazine in 1951, a rare burst of fiction from the author, produced during a time which he was immersed in Civil War history and suffering nearly unwittingly from dwindling royalties and reprint sales of his best novels and stories. |
 | | James M. Cain's personal ribbon copy of his play, "The Guest in 701." Cain's rather infamous refusal to accept his inability to write an effective stage drama is greatly evidenced by this and several other plays, none of which were produced, and extant copies of which remained almost exclusively with his personal effects. |
 | | Original Development Agreement between Warner Brothers pictures and James M. Cain for Cain's story, "Career in C Major," though never filmed, is one of the three stories published in his classic compilation, "Three of a Kind." This is Cain's copy with his original signature, Notary signature and blindstamp. |
