Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants (inscribed)
St. Paul: Milkweed, 2013. First edition. Softcover. Twenty-fifth printing. Inscribed on the title page: "For Paul, Robin Wall Kimmerer." Surprisingly uncommon signed. As detailed in articles about the sensation that this book has become, Braiding Sweetgrass had a first hardcover printing of only 8,000 copies, most of which were probably bought by libraries; no major newspaper reviewed it. In 2020, five years after the paperback was first released, Braiding Sweetgrass made the New York Times bestseller list for paperback nonfiction and it hasn’t left--currently over 300 weeks on the list. As of 2024, it had sold more than 2 million copies. A word-of-mouth phenomenon and a book of generational importance. This is a fine copy in wraps--unread. Fine. Item #1939
