The Meadowlands: Wilderness Adventures at the Edge of a City (signed)
NY: Scribner, 1998. First edition. Hardcover. Inscribed on the title page: "To Milo, with thanks, Robert Sullivan." Uncommon signed, with no other copies available as of this writing. Hi first book, a relatively early and influential book in the still very much emerging genre of urban nature writing. "In the tradition of John McPhee and Ian Frazier," Sullivan explores New Jersey's marred but fecund Meadowlands about five miles out of New York City, becoming "this weird and wild place's unofficial naturalist." Sullivan would later write a well-received natural history of rats in NYC. Blurbs by Bill McKibben, Ian Frazier, and even Frank McCourt. A very good book on account of a mildly cocked spine, otherwise near fine in a near fine jacket. Very good / Near fine. Item #1369
