Sobre este artículo
Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1977. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Inscribed on the half-title page by John McPhee: "For Stephanie Schlant, on the occasion of a fine evening in Denville, Yolanda and John McPhee, 12/19/76." "Yolanda" is in John McPhee's hand. An association copy, inscribed to the stepdaughter of senator/basketball star Bill Bradley, who was of course the subject of McPhee's first book, A Sense of Where You Are. The first twenty pages of this Reader are an excerpt from A Sense of Where You Are. Presumably signed at Bradley's home in Denville, since Stephanie Schlant was a teenager at the time. Very good plus/near fine with a light specking of dust/foxing to the top of the text block, a minor dust smudge to lower text block corner, a few bumps to board edges, and minor softening to a few corners. A near fine jacket with one wrinkle along edge, some fraying to the top of spine, and a minor dampstain to lower spine. Presents very well. An uncommon book in general, and scarce signed. // Wood (+) River (=) Books specializes in nature writing and environmental literature, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions. We invite you to explore our growing number of John McPhee association copies.

Sobre Rural Hours
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.
