About This Item
New Jersey, USA: Anchor Books/ Doubleday, 1995. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7?" - 9?" tall. Anchor Books/ Doubleday, 1995. First Edition. Hardcover Book and Dust Jacket in Fine Condition. Mylar jacket cover. An unusual pilgrimage indeed-the author met and developed a unique friendship with an elderly Nepalese widow while he was teaching school in a village near the Himalayas in the 1970s. Going back there with his future wife fifteen years later, they invited 84 year-old Aama to come for a visit to America. This she did--and her unclouded vision of America led them to a different and greater understanding of their own country, culture and themselves. Original cloth backed boards with ivory linen, gilt titles, ivory boards, pristine condition. Tight, solid, square with sharp corners. Internals very clean, no underlining or highlighting, faint creasing to a few pages. B/w illustrations. 299 pages. 6.5 x 9.5 inches. Anchor Books/Doubleday, New York, 1995.
