About This Item
Four Seasons Foundation, San Francisco, 1969. 1st Edition. Soft cover. Very Good/Very Good. Association copy, belonging to influential African-American author Ann Petry, best known for her 1946 novel The Street, the first book by a black woman to sell more than one million copies. "For Ann Petry" is written in pencil at the top of the FFEP in what looks quite like Snyder's script, but there is no signature, and the placement seems odd, too. Nonetheless an interesting copy. First thus, a reissue in different form of Four Seasons "Writing 7" release from 1965. Very good with light soiling and fading to spine. // Wood (+) River (=) Books specializes in place-based and environmental literature, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions.

About 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.
