About This Item
New York: The Macmillan Company, 1966 WYSIWYG pricing--no added shipping charge for standard shipping within USA. Full green cloth, gold titles on spine, top edge dyed red, ix, 276 pp, about 100 line cuts, index. Cup ring on front cover, slight rubbing to extremities. According to Townsend Whelen's foreword, "Calvin Rutstrum is a wilderness voyager who has spent much of his life in truly wild country, in fair weather and foul, in summer and winter. Rutstrum 'savvies' the bush, and what he tells you in these pages will be a real help to those of you who plan to enter wild country for recreation or other purposes. He points out in a practical manner the best ways to do things, the easiest way, the way to survive in emergencies, and the way to get real pleasures and benefits that such a life alone can bestow. ... It has often been said that you cannot learn such things from books. While experience is the best teacher, we should not neglect the wisdom of the ages laid down in good books. To the reader with a minimum of experience, such books can hasten the ripeness of wilderness knowledge." Shipping weight 2 lbs.. 4th ptg. . VG/No dj. Illus. by Les Kouba. 21½ X 14½ cm.

Books are offered subject to prior sale. You may return any book within 14 days for a refund; if it was not as described, we will also refund return shipping costs (but please e-mail us first). You can place credit card orders through Biblio, or we will ship upon receipt of payment by check or money order. Sales tax is collected by Biblio and remitted directly to your state, where applicable. SHIPPING IN UNITED STATES: Books are priced postpaid, so there are no additional shipping charges for standard shipping. We will ship via Priority Mail for $12.00 per order (Save on multiple-book orders!). This may be reduced if actual postage is less than for a medium flat-rate box. INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: In most cases, shipping via Biblio's consolidated shipping program via Asendia is the cheapest option on orders up to 5 lbs. International shipping rates are complex (cost depends upon weight and destination), so please feel free to email us for a quote before you order. If the actual cost of shipping is more than the automatically quoted rate, you must approve the additional charges before the order will be shipped. Shipping charges will be reduced if shipping weight is under 3 lbs. All shipping charges (except via Asendia) include 17% to cover Biblio fees and commissions that apply to these charges. LIBRARIES: We offer flexible terms to public and university libraries.
