About This Item
TX: Texas A&M Press, 1985. First edition. Hardcover. Fine/Very good. Inscribed on the half-title page: "For Marc -- Nice to meet you, & thanks for coming -- Best, Rick Bass, Oxford '89." Uncommon for also being inscribed by the book's illustrator, Bass's then-wife, with a separate pen: "For Marc -- Thanks! Best, Elizabeth Hughes, Oxford 1989." As of this writing there are no other copies signed by Hughes available. This is Bass's first book, seventeen essays about his family's deer hunting tradition in the Texas Hills Country and the natural history of deer. It launched Bass, an oil geologist, to an impressive writing and environmental activist career. A fine book in a very good price-clipped jacket with sunning to spine, otherwise in great shape.

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.
