Looking for a Ship (inscribed)
Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1990. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Inscribed on the half title page, a family association copy: "For Steve Svenvold, Merry Christmas 2001, from Mark's mate's first deckhand -- John McPhee." Poet and professor Mark Svenvold is McPhee's son-in-law (married to novelist Martha McPhee), thus McPhee is a deckhand to his daughter. Classic McPhee wit. A gift to a Svenvold family member. A near fine book on account of a slight slant to spine, otherwise crisp and clean. // 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.
