Since "Silent Spring" - Tapa dura

Since Silent Spring (association copy)

Hardcover. Condición: Very good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very good. 1. An association copy: laid is a "compliments of Houghton Mifflin Company" card signed by its editor-in-chief Paul Brooks, and with the ownership signature of Houghton Mifflin editor Haven H. Spencer at the top of the front free endpaper. Spencer was a senior science editor for Houghton Mifflin and developed and managed the house's first college science department. Also laid in is a small promotional brochure/order form for the book featuring blurbs by William O Douglas, Robert Cushman Murphy, and John Kieran. Published just eight years after Carson's book, this book is part biography and account of the making of Silent Spring, part follow-up to that book with the latest update on "how the pesticide question stands today." Frank Graham, Jr., (see his NYT obit) was a prolific environmental writer and a field editor for Audubon magazine. Brooks was Rachel Carson's publisher and editor, and in fact he suggested the title Silent Spring. He was also an accomplished naturalist writer and winner of the John Burroughs Medal for nature writing for Roadless Area. Green cloth with silver gilt lettering. Very good with offsetting from now missing laid-in materials on the front free endpaper, title page (lightly), and dedication page; also one bump to rear top board edge near spine. In a very good jacket with edge wear and rubbing to corner and spine ends; one quarter-inch tear at top edge of front panel. A nice publishing association with rare ephemera. Signed. Nº de ref. del artículo: 2092
