[EAN: 9780865475304], Gebraucht, wie neu, [PU: New York City, NY: North Point Press, 1998], Jacket, 1st Printing. Signed. 265 pages. Published in 1998. Retrospective collection of short stories. One of the best collections of its kind ever published in our time. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only in conjunction with The Nature Conservancy. Presents "Off The Beaten Path: Stories of Place". Includes an outstanding Contribution: Barry Lopez's "Two Dogs At Rowena". "Thirteen literary powerhouses, including Annie Proulx, Howard Norman, Rita Mae Brown, and Lee Smith, visited Nature Conservancy Sites and contributed short stories to this excellent collection. The writers took pilgrimages to places where they could think straight, remember, and invent. While paeans to wild places, most of these tales are imaginative flights transcending an actual setting. A cohesive whole, evoking the spirit of our nation's landscape and its power to nurture and heal" (The Nature Conservancy). An absolute "must-have" title for Barry Lopez and contemporary American literature collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in blue fountain pen on his Contribution, "Two Dogs At Rowena" (Page 171), by Barry Lopez. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. Barry Lopez's signature is one of the most beautiful, old-fashioned in the best way, among all contemporary writers. This title is a great collection. This is one of few such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce signed copy thus. Finalist of the National Book Award in 1978 for "Of Wolves And Men". Winner of the National Book Award in 1986 for "Arctic Dreams". One of the greatest American writers of our time. A fine copy.
