About This Item
Doubleday, 1976. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Inscribed in blue ink on the front free endpaper: "For Larry Haggard, Cordially, Wallace Stegner." This book won the National Book Award. Very good book with a slight slant to spine and very light soiling/sunning to board edges. In a very good jacket with some damp staining to rear lower corner and the flap. Some attendant slight waviness to the rear free endpaper, one sheet only. Also a small damp stain to lower outer corner of front board. One scratch to front panel of dust jacket. Despite these flaws, a worthwhile copy. // 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.
