About This Item
This book shows minor wear, the dust jacket somewhat more. The cover has light blue fabric covered boards with gilt print on the spine. Gentle wear along the top and bottom edges and little else. The price clipped dust jacket has small tears along the upper and lower edges, none much over a cm, and some discoloration from age. The pages are filled with photos and sketches, many being of the true hero of the story, the author's pet otter. This is an accounting of the time spent at a remote cabin by the author and otter, and their interactions with nature and local wildlife. Endpapers decorated with more otter sketches. Not a rare book, but not common, either.

Many of my books are oversized. Rather than ask for shipping adjustments at the time of purchase, the list price for heavier books includes the excess shipping cost.
