About This Item
Seattle, Washington, U.S.A: Sasquatch Books, 1996. First Edition. Hardcover. As New/Very Good. 8vo - over 7. Sasquatch Books, 1996. First Edition. Hardcover Book As New with a Very Good Dust Jacket. Archival protective jacket cover. A personal journey toward, and a working blueprint for, a way of life that can last. Durning is a visionary, trying to reconcile people and nature, the struggle of our age, as he pursues the people and ideas that point the way to building a permanent, dynamic society; who make a stand against everything disposable; who argues for greater urban density; a suburban mother who agitates to get stores out from behind their parking lots--to function more like a village. A more human society. It is a hope-filled book that asks lots of questions--and answers them with inspiring, real-world stories of the good and the lasting. Handsome binding of burnt-orange half cloth w/ sharp and bright gilt titles, tan speckled boards, bright and clean, sharp corners, tight binding. Very clean dust jacket has a scratch on the rear spine edge; not price-clipped. 326 pages. 6.5 x 9.25 inches. 1996, Sasquatch Books, Seattle, WA, USA
