About This Item
Athens, GA: The University of Georgia Press. Very Good. 1998. Hardcover in dust jacket. This book is hard-bound in black paper covered boards, with a gilt stamped red cloth spine, in a nice dust jacket with light edge-wear. The covers show a touch of very light rubbing to the corners. The binding is solid. The contents are bright and clean, with black & white illustrations. This book is signed/inscribed by Barry Lopez on the page opposite the title-page. From the collection of Cuthbert Christian Thambimuttu (1945-2019) of Columbus, Ohio - known to many of his bookseller, author, and illustrator friends as "Tubby." He was persistent in the pursuit of autographed books by the writers and artists he admired, including Gorey, Sendak, Heaney, Byatt, Morrison, Updike and many more. Joseph Heller once wrote to Tubby in response to one more "please sign and return" request: "This is turning out to be a hell of a lot of work!" All signed books unconditionally guaranteed to be authentic. Many of the books are inscribed to both Cuthbert and his great friend of more than two decades Antonia Gale Moss. .
