Soft cover. Condición: Near Fine. Softcover, sixth printing. Association copy, Inscribed to former Poet Laureate Donald Hall on the front free endpaper: "For Donald Hall, from Ed Abbey, with much admiration, Oracle, Arizona 1987." Abbey did have much admiration for Hall, writing for instance, in a blurb, that Hall's memoir Seasons at Eagle Pond about his New Hampshire farm is "A beautiful piece of workmanship . . . Donald Hall's essays match the cool grave quiet splendor of the New England scene that he has made his home." A near fine copy with the faintest hint of wear or lift to the lamination at the edges of the wraps. Pages are bright and clean, but there are some notations in blue to the table of contents in either Abbey or Hall's hand. A great association between two standout writers of the natural world, cross continent and biome, from the AZ desert to the NH hardwoods.
