Bound by John DeMerrit Bookbinding in black linen over green laid paper boards, with woodcut illustration on front over. Printed paper spine label. . Narrow folio (7 in. x 12 in.). With a [4] pp. introduction by Peter Rutledge Koch. Tilte-page printed in black and red, with wood-engraved vignette, thirty full-page wood-engravings by Wagener, two folding.

A fine copy in matching black linen and green board slipcase. "Keep close to nature's heart…and break clear away, once in a while, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean," (John Muir). "John Muir reminds us that a life lived without great rocky outcrops and ageless tress as a part of one's native landscape would be a life deprived of one of the greatest resources of the sublime…In the Sierra Nevada there live trees as old as Sumerian phonographic script and Egypt's Bronze Age Middle Kingdom – there for you to lean against and smell…alive…sap oozing from the cores of the oldest living friends we have. Richard Wagener's engravings capture an essential quality of that friendship—nearness and an austere clarity," (from Koch's introduction).

San Francisco: The Book Club of California, 2009. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. This is copy 14 of 300 copies signed by Richard Wagener. Additionally inscribed and dated by Wagener to Gordon Van De Water, past president of the Zamorano Club, once on a prefatory blank leaf and again on the colophon. One of the leading American wood engravers, Richard Wagener has created a visual account of his wanderings throughout California in this lavish new work. In thirty original prints and short prose pieces describing them, he chronicles a journey that begins and ends in Los Angeles with stops in the San Jacinto Mountains, the Antelope Valley, Sonoma County, and the Sierra Nevada. Like John Muir and Gary Snyder, Wagener is a wanderer, explorer and observer of California, creating a poetry of place through both words and images, all born of actual experience. Not since Paul Landacre mastered the aesthetic and technical challenges of wood engraving in the early twentieth-century has any California artist…

This book a collection of seventeen stunning wood engravings by various artists, each printed and signed below the plate by the artist. Gale Mueller (who signed the essay page "In the Beginning...") invited the artists "to submit an edition of engravings on the title theme of 'surroundings, ' and the variety of responses shows the versatility of wood engraving as a medium" (ibid). The theme of "Surroundings" is explained by Mueller in the essay which focuses on the glacial history and forces which created the beauty seen in nature, which now "provide a tapestry of tranquility for the creative processes..."
