About This Item
Holt, Rinehart, and Winston, 1976. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. Association copy, inscribed to Denise Levertov on the front free endpaper in the year of publication: "For Denise, who flowers in all available light, from Al with love--March 1976." Great association between these West Coast poets. Fine book, but rear board seems slightly longer that the front board (printer's error). In near fine jacket that is just a tad offset.

About 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.
