About This Item
National Geographic, 2010. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. An association copy, inscribed in the year of publication to Ehrlich's longtime family housekeeper in Santa Barbara: "For Paulina, Oh so wonderful to see you--With great love--Gretel, 2010." Scarce signed, and indeed a wonderful inscription. Paulina is mentioned in Ehrlich's latest book Unsolaced. An interesting association in that it speaks to Ehrlich's relative affluence and the lifestyle that she was perhaps escaping when she struck out for Wyoming where she wrote her classic The Solace of Open Spaces. Fine book in near fine jacket.

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.
