Hardback. Condición: Good. The John McPhee Reader, first published in 1976, is comprised of selections from the author's first twelve books. In 1965, John McPhee published his first book, A Sense of Where You Are; a decade later, he had published eleven others. His fertility, his precision and grace as a stylist, his wit and uncanny brilliance in choosing subject matter, his crack storytelling skills have made him into one of our best writers: a journalist whom L.E. Sissman ranked with Liebling and Mencken, who Geoffrey Wolff said "is bringing his work to levels that have no measurable limit," who has been called "a master craftsman" so many times that it is pointless to number them.…

Hardcover. Condición: Near Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Inscribed on the half-title page by John McPhee: "For Stephanie Schlant, on the occasion of a fine evening in Denville, Yolanda and John McPhee, 12/19/76." "Yolanda" is in John McPhee's hand. An association copy, inscribed to the stepdaughter of senator/basketball star Bill Bradley, who was of course the subject of McPhee's first book, A Sense of Where You Are. The first twenty pages of this Reader are an excerpt from A Sense of Where You Are. Presumably signed at Bradley's home in Denville, since Stephanie Schlant was a teenager at the time.

A near fine jacket with one wrinkle along edge, some fraying to the top of spine, and a minor dampstain to lower spine. Presents very well. An uncommon book in general, and scarce signed.
