About This Item
Yale University Press, 2017. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. Association copy, glowingly inscribed by deBuys on the half-title, in thick blue-green ink, to another prominent New Mexican author: "For John Nichols, This one, for a change, is not about the end of the world, only about icons, and not about iconic people like you, but iconic places. May we all be our places, as you so clearly are. You are the best. Abrazos, Bill, 10-9-17." Nichols, of Taos, is best known for his New Mexico trilogy of novels, especially The Milagro Beanfield War. DeBuys, who lives in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, is the author of ten books on conversation and environmental history, including the Pulitzer finalist River of Traps: A New Mexico Mountain Life. A powerhouse New Mexico association copy, or the Southwest in general, and uncommon signed in any event. Also signed on the title page. Fine book except for a lightly bumped lower front corner; in a very near fine jacket. // Wood (+) River (=) Books specializes in place-based and environmental literature, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions.

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.
