North with the Spring (signed)
NY: Dodd, Mead, 1951. First edition. Hardcover. Sixteenth printing, 1960. Signed on the title page by Teale in blue ink, and thus uncommon. "A natural history of spring, a biography of the world's favorite season," in this book Teale and his wife Nellie travel from Florida to Maine following spring as it moves north. The trip was 17,000 miles through twenty-three states across 130 days. The first book in Teale's classic American Seasons quartet (see our signed boxed set), of which the final installment, Wandering through Winter, won the Pulitzer Prize. A very good book with darkening and a faint speckle of foxing to the top edge of the text block, as well as light sunning to spine. In a very good jacket with sunning to spine (mainly it effects the title at the top of the spine) and some fraying/minor loss to spine ends. General edge wear and rubbing and one small chip to lower edge of front panel. The jacket reads "Fifteenth Large Printing" on the front flap. Very good / Very good. Item #1535
