The Sea of Cortez (Sea of Cortez: A Leisurely Journal of Travel and Research)

John Steinbeck and Edward F. Ricketts · The Viking Press (New York) · 1941

No book-club edition of the 1941 first. The pervasive confusion is the 1951 'Log from the Sea of Cortez,' which is a different book (narrative only). Any copy lacking the species catalogue/phyletic appendix is the Log, not the 1941 Sea of Cortez first.
