Sobre este item
NY: FSG, 1968. First edition. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. Seventh printing, 1978. Signed on the title page: "For the Fairhaven Library, John McPhee." His fourth book, a classic. McPhee enjoys signing books to libraries and one could build a nice collection of them in time. Green cloth, ex-library, of course, with a pocket to rear free endpaper (last checked out in 2001). The jacket is in mylar and about fine, but it's affixed to the boards, with a call number on its spine. Otherwise in very good shape with a slight slant to spine and a little rubbing to bottom of boards.
Sinopse
Most people think of New Jersey as a suburban-industrial corridor that runs between New York and Philadelphia. Yet in the low center of the state is a near wilderness, larger than most national parks, which has been known since the seventeenth century as the Pine Barrens. Although New Jersey has the heaviest population density of any state, huge segments of the Pine Barrens remain uninhabited. The few people who dwell in the region, the "Pineys," are little known and often misunderstood. Here McPhee uses his uncanny skills as a journalist to explore the history of the region and describe the people—and their distinctive folklore—who call it home. - Publisher’s Site

Sobre Rural Hours
Rural Hours (formerly Wood + River = Books, est. 2019) specializes in ecology, natural history, nature writing, the environment, environmental literature, and contemporary essay, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions. We draw our name from the popular-but-then-forgotten book by Susan Fenimore Cooper (published in 1850), generally considered the first work of environmental creative nonfiction by a woman in the U.S. We are interested in challenging and expanding the canon of environmental literature and finding books that tell remarkable stories and illuminate the tradition of writing about place and natural history.
