A propos de cet article

The British edition, and a great association copy, inscribed on the title page: "To John Graves, Jim Harrison." Graves is "perhaps Texas's most beloved writer," best known for the environmental classic Goodbye to the River, his account of his farewell canoe trip down the Brazos River, which was soon after dammed. This book comes from collection of Bill Wittliff, book designer, typographer, photographer and screenwriter from Austin Texas, who founded the Witliff Collections at Texas State University where John Graves's papers are now held. (Witliff apparently had one of John Graves's paddles from the Brazos journey hanging above his desk.) Legends of the Fallis of course Jim Harrison's best known book, comprised of three awesome novellas, the titular one made into a blockbuster movie starring Brad Pitt. Maroon cloth with gilt lettering on spine. Very good with a slight lean to spine, a few finger smudges to pages 4-5, and a little foxing to the top edge of the text block. In a very good jacket tan jacket (possibly uniformly toned?) and with light edgewear to corner and spine ends. A standout association between outdoor writers of renown, and certainly the most interesting copy of Legends of the Fall we've seen in awhile.…

Description de la boutique

Visit us at www.ruralhours.com. Rural Hours (formerly Wood River Books) specializes in ecology, natural history, nature and science writing, the environment, ecopoetics, contemporary essay, and literary journalism, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions. Our name is an homage to Susan Fenimore Cooper's book Rural Hours (1850), considered the first work of environmental nonfiction by an American woman. The daughter of James Fenimore Cooper, Susan Cooper was also an accomplished watercolorist, and her birds from Rural Hours populate these pages. Her rendering of a "chimney swallow" (now known as a swift) serves as our logo and mascot: sleek and elevated, part sky and part city street. Rural Hours is mainly a project of writer and teacher Nick Neely. Along with a pair of MFA degrees in nonfiction and poetry, Nick has a Master's in Literature and Environment from the University of Nevada, Reno. He has much expertise and years of experience in the field of eco-writing. His first book, Coast Range, was a finalist for John Burroughs Medal for nature writing and his second book, Alta California--about a 12-week trek he made along the California coast--was a Los Angeles Times bestseller. Check out the "Rambles" page for eventual short essays from him on environmental lit, new books, and more. Rural Hours is a young venture, but we aspire to be among the leaders in the field of rare and interesting eco-writing. We believe, emphatically, that environmental literature and its preservation is in the service of the preservation of the world. In addition to helping serious collectors and institutions build their libraries and archives, our goal is to curate a substantial "house collection" of environmental writing for public display on this site and beyond, one that shows the evolution of the genre(s). That will be a perennial work in progress. We hope to draw a deep, explorable map of environmental writing that traces the lineage and connections between authors and artists determined to render and protect the earth, locally and globally. At the same time, we would like to challenge the usual contours of the "environmental literature" canon and promote a more diverse and inclusive array of voices; in that way, our longterm goal is to excavate the past and curate toward the future. Rural Hours also hopes to eventually have an open shop and gallery space, but for now we are only online. You've come to the right the place. Enjoy poking around, and then head out for a walk.…
