Sobre este artículo
Vintage Books / Random House., 1972. V-852. Originally published by Alfred A Knopf, 1968.. Mass-market paperback. Very good. No dust jacket as issued. Minor blemishing. Tightly bound. No spine creasing. Slight edge wear.. 1 Mass-market (rack) paperback, slightly larger. Glued binding. 239 p. Audience: General/trade. Colin Fletcher is believed to be, notes the cover info, 'the first man ever to have walked the entire length of the Grand Canyon'. That significant and courageous 2-month achievement in planning and survival is recorded here, complete with a list of supplies. He certainly is the first to publish this effort. Welshman Fletcher is an accomplished hiker and nature writer in the world arena. Centuries earlier, perhaps other explorers had done so without a publishing company waiting at the end. The publisher also notes this was more than an adventure, but was also a spiritual odyssey for Fletcher. Anyone who has even spent an hour on the rim of the Grand Canyon will understand that likelihood.
Sinopsis

Sobre Hedgehog's Whimsey Books
Hedgehog's Whimsey Books was born in a random moment when I decided to become a used books seller. Beginning in 2001, I apprenticed myself with a longtime pro in the next town, hoping to learn her secrets. She encouraged my free help but was wary of sharing all those secrets. Nonetheless, she turned me loose when she felt I would not embarrass her; she was impressed, finding I actually knew something about books and authors and styles. I am still learning, and I am having a good time with the random avalanches of books to be recycled into good homes, one by one. Inventory has mounted: my mother downsized her 7,000-plus library, and we (my Geezer and I) went to library book sales, yard emporiums on weekends, estate dispersals, and added the books my kids left behind, wanting to stock their own shelves anew. Some folks simply tooled down our dirt road and left boxes on our porch. Myself? Well, I am also a photographer, journalist, curious stuff collector, avid reader, writer, editor, small-time publisher, and online pontificator. At Hedgehog Enterprises, I do "Words & Pictures by & for Folks with Prickly Backs, Soft Bellies, & Small Brains", established in 1991. Since I have the smallest brain (by unpopular vote), I am the Head Hedgehog. Do I specialize in particular genres? I thought I did, but my barn has lots of Geezer-built shelves, and we have many interests, so topics vary, as do book conditions and editions. I try to describe such, and sometimes have too much fun as I poke along. There is no charge for the therapy of browsing, folks, so find my sites and stay awhile. If a purchase results, know that the tax collector in Newport, New Hampshire, may get a pleasant surprise. Or, I may buy a few more apple cider donuts or sweet potatoes. No pressure. Hedgehogs do have yearnings. If you should visit by chance or by appointment, enjoy our old New Hampshire farmhouse location alongside the Sugar River and its companion recreation Rail Trail, nearby two historic railroad covered bridges just off Chandlers Mill Road. Feel welcome. -- Lucy G Wells, proprietor.
