About This Item
University of Oklahoma Press, 1957. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. With Larry McMurtry's bookplate on front pastedown, and an inscription on the illustrated front end free paper: "To the Governor, from the Big Red E Tribe." Curious: The Big Red E Tribe doesn t come up on a quick search, but could this book have been inscribed to a governor of Oklahoma? Hard to put it past McMurtry's collecting interests. Originally published in the American Guide Series in 1941, this is the first printing of the revised edition. A very good book with some wear to corners and to the edges of lower boards. In a very good jacket with wear around spine, some foxing on rear panel, and a few stray red pen marks to front. Love that the cover highlights a double-decker overpass. Please inquire for photos.

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.
