About This Item
UK First Edition. First printing with number line ending in 1. The book is tight with solid hinges, good tips, and blue cloth boards. Light creases to spine ends. The textblock has no writing, bookplate, or markings and not BCE, ex-library, or remaindered. Satin bookmark. Light friction abrasion to top fore-edges. Tiny foxing dot on side fore-edges. The dust jacket is unclipped (£14.99) with faint shelf wear. Protected in a new Brodart Mylar cover. 247 pages. 6¼ x 9½" tall.
In each of these stories, Margaret Atwood illuminates the shape of a whole life: in a few brief pages we watch as characters progress from the vulnerabilities of adolescence through the passions of youth into the precarious complexities of middle age.
The richly layered stories in "Wilderness Tips" map interior landscapes shaped by time, regret, and lost chances, endowing even the most unassuming of lives with a disquieting intensity.
