Handle with care, but the interior of this lovely old classic is still clean and clear. Tips are unbruised, not ex-library, neither highlighting nor underlining anywhere. Front hinge a bit weak, paste-down neat and clean but cracked in front, partially cracked in rear. One inch-long section of backstrap chipped/missing at top. Burgundy covers sunned, soiled a bit. Original publication date 1864, so this is an apparent Second Edition, but not so stated. Gold embossed decoration on cover.

Bass, Rick Winter: notes from Montana
Boston Houghton and Mifflin, 1991 First Edition Hard Cover Fine in Fine dust jacket 8vo 8" - 9" tall
Sterling condition hardcover copy, stated First Edition, gift-quality, protected by Mylar coat. It's a critically acclaimed and award-winning musing by the enviromentalist author. The dust jacket proclaims thusly: "In this celebration of winter in a remote valley of thirty inhabitants, the last valley in Montana without electricity, Rick Bass describes the wildness and freedom of the valley people, the slow-motion quality of life as if it were one hundred years ago. Impressions abound: trees popping like firecrackers in the dead of winter; white rabbits as large as cats; bull elk eating hay alongside cows; giant larches as wide as redwoods; the Dirty Shame Saloon, where the people gamble, drink beer, gossip, and watch football on TV. He describes the physical dangers of wilderness life: getting lost in a blizzard; sudden avalanches; how a chain saw can rip open your leg; the omnipresent threat of fire. 'Winter' is a book about the excitement of matching landscape to life, about how one man and one woman have searched for and found that place to call their abiding own." 162 pp
