New York: John Day Company, 1950. First Edition. Good +/good +. Signed first edition copy of one of the Nearings best and earliest, books. Signed on title page. In original dustjacket with some edgewear (please see photos), price-clipped. A most comprehensive book about sugaring - its intriguing history and how to do it as the Nearings did for many years here in Vermont. Also, much on how to live rurally, the "Good Life." Through this book the Nearings befriended Pearl Buck (her husband was its editor) and she ended visiting the Nearings in Jamaica and eventually buying up hundreds of acres of nearby land as well, though she never warmed up to their rigid ways regarding food and daily living. The book is right now residing on the Nearings' old gravel pit, where Philenor Rare Books is located (the gravel pit now a little lush green valley).
