About This Item
Algonquin Books, 2006. 1st Edition. Soft cover. Near Fine. Signed on the title page in blue ink. This enormously influential book, which popularized the term "nature deficit disorder," was only issued in paperback, and is surprisingly uncommon signed. Fifth printing. Would be fine except for a bump to lower front corner that has left a small crease there to the wrap and crimped some pages through the introduction; otherwise unread. // Wood (+) River (=) Books specializes in ecology, natural history, nature writing, the environment, 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.
