Description

University of California Press, 1986. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Moser, Barry. Signed and dated in the year of publication on the first blank: "Robert D. Richardson, Oct 26 1986." Uncommon signed. The late Richardson was a winner of the Bancroft Prize, and this book prompted a fan letter from Annie Dillard (who did her undergraduate thesis on Thoreau) that blossomed into a romance, though they were both married at the time, and subsequently a long marriage. Good stuff. Near fine book with some faint foxing to top face of the text block; in a near fine jacket with an inconspicuous tape repair to a half-inch tear at rear upper corner at the flap fold. We invite you to explore our growing collection of signed and inscribed books related to Thoreau. // Wood (+) River (=) Books specializes in ecology, natural history, nature writing, the environment, and environmental literature, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions.

Rural Hours (formerly Wood + River = Books, est. 2019) specializes in ecology, natural history, nature writing, the environment, environmental literature, and contemporary essay, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions. We draw our name from the popular-but-then-forgotten book by Susan Fenimore Cooper (published in 1850), generally considered the first work of environmental creative nonfiction by a woman in the U.S. We are interested in challenging and expanding the canon of environmental literature and finding books that tell remarkable stories and illuminate the tradition of writing about place and natural history.
