Encounters with the Archdruid
NY: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1971. 1st Edition. Hardcover. An uncommon book in the first printing as it is here. His classic work that shadows Sierra Club founder David Brower as he conversationally takes on three foes of conservation in the field, including Charles Park, a mineral engineer, in the Northern Cascades; Floyd Dominy, infamous dam builder as the commissioner of the Bureau of Reclamation, while rafting the Colorado River; and Charles Fraser, a developer on Hilton Head island. Quarto in brown cloth with gilt lettering to spine and the stamped "three-to-one" symbol on the front board that alludes to the book's unique triple double-profile conception; saffron endpapers. Near fine with just a very minor bump to the front lower corner. In a fair jacket with the front flap fully detached but now held in place by mylar; the jacket has also sunned to green except where the original brown is visible due to ghosting on the front panel, but all in all still attractive and uncommon. Near fine / Fair. Item #2276
