Silent Spring [signed 1st Printing]

Descripción

Hardcover with DJ. Dark green cloth with bronze lettering. Binding good and tight and clean. DJ present, in protective mylar. Original price of $5.00 on the front flap. A clean and attractive copy with no condition issues at all. Top edge yellow (as issued). Patterned endpapers. Title page dated 1962. Copyright page dated 1962 and stated First Printing. SIGNED ON THE HALF TITLE PAGE by Rachel Carson -- just her name (without middle initial), no inscription. 368 pages. Illustrated by Lois and Louis Darling. It is impossible to overstate the importance of this Silent Spring in the history of natural history writing and the environmental movement. Many of its precepts are common knowledge now (though not enough of them!) but they were revelatory at the time. It remains the loudest and most heeded warning knell of the environmental movement. This is the first printing of the first edition in very good condition and with Rachel Carson's rare signature (without inscription). Please email with questions or to request photos. Pardon the glare in the photo of the front cover - that's the mylar reflecting something beneath the book.
