First edition. Fine in near fine dust jacket with a short tear at the crown. Signed by the author on the half-title.

First printing, inscribed (to no recipient) on the title page: "with congratulations and all best--John McPhee, Princeton, 12/87." Fine book in a fine price-clipped jacket. McPhee is famously all-about Princeton, having grown up there, attended, written about the university and its alums in various ways, and taught there for much of his career. Would be a great gift for a Princeton fan or alum. Uncommon signed.

Inscribed on the half-title page: "For Betty Butterworth, all best -- John Mcphee." Laid in is a short handwritten note (ALS) on Princeton Council for Humanities stationary from McPhee thanking her for sending an article about Rancho Mission Viejo. It's dated 1994. "Oddly enough, this is written on a DC-10 on my way to California. . . . If you do come to the reading, please say hello." She did, apparently, come to the reading. A near fine book with lightest fading to lower board edges and a minor scuff and pinhole tear to front free endpaper, barely noticeable on its illustrated geologic table; otherwise fine. The price-clipped jacket is near fine. The letter is 8.5 x 5.5 inches, fine, tri-folded. // Wood (+) River (=) Books specializes in nature writing and environmental literature, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions.
