A California Bestiary (signed)
Berkeley: Heyday Books, 2010. First edition. Hardcover. Signed by both Solnit, who provides the text, and Caron, the illustrator, on the half-title page. Uncommon signed. Inspired by classic bestiaries, which were often fantastical, this book presents factual but wondrous accounts of California animals including the acorn woodpecker, California condor, grizzly bear, chinook salmon, monarch butterfly, mountain lion, and others. Each animal is illustrated by Caron at the head of its species description. A small and slim octavo at about 50 pages; an interesting project from Solnit who is one of the writers of our times. Illustrated boards without a dust jacket as issued. A fine copy. Fine. Item #1361
