Henry Thoreau: A Life of the Mind (signed)
University of California Press, 1986. Moser, Barry. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Signed and dated in the year of publication on the first blank: "Robert D. Richardson, Oct 26 1986." Uncommon signed. The late Richardson was a winner of the Bancroft Prize, and this book prompted a fan letter from Annie Dillard (who did her undergraduate thesis on Thoreau) that blossomed into a romance, though they were both married at the time, and subsequently a long marriage. Good stuff. Near fine book with some faint foxing to top face of the text block; in a near fine jacket with an inconspicuous tape repair to a half-inch tear at rear upper corner at the flap fold. We invite you to explore our growing collection of signed and inscribed books related to Thoreau. // Wood (+) River (=) Books specializes in ecology, natural history, nature writing, the environment, and environmental literature, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions.
