A Field Guide to the Birds: A Completely New Guide to All the Birds of Eastern and Central North America (association copy)
Houghton Mifflin (T), 1980. 4th Edition. Hardcover. Association copy, inscribed generously on the dedication page in red ink to the person who spearheaded the book's production at Houghton Mifflin: "For Morton Baker -- Terry -- This book has a great deal of you in it. With our gratitude, Roger Tory Peterson, Virginia Marie Peterson." Virginia's signature is in her separate, equally lovely hand--unusual to have her signature as well. Morton Baker is among those thanked in the third to last and penultimate paragraphs of the acknowledgments, e.g.: "In addition to the skill of these craftsmen and the production department of Houghton Mifflin, under the direction of Morton Baker, I have drawn on the expertise . . ." A nice association. Near fine with a touch of rubbing to corners in a similarly near fine jacket. Near Fine. Item #ABE-1662927447023
