About This Item
Univ of Virginia Pr, 1986. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. Inscribed in the year of publication: "For Bob Galvin, our Transcendental lawyer, Linck C. Johnson, Concord, MA 1986." Uncommon signed. This book, by a professor at Colgate, traces the development of Thoreau's *A Week* from "inception to publication." Includes the first draft of *A Week* in full. The recipient of the inscription was a longstanding member of the Thoreau Society and its one-time Vice President. Fine book except for one bump to outer edge of front board that's torn the cloth a smidge; in a very good jacket with a small closed tear in that small spot and a larger tape-mended tear to lower edge of rear panel. We invite you to explore our growing collection of signed and inscribed books related to Thoreau. // 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.
