Description:
Coffee House Press, 1990. 1st Edition. Soft cover. Near Fine. Inscribed on the title page: "For Isao, warmest regards, Karen Tea Yamashita, San Francisco, 1995." Uncommon signed. A paperback original, third printing. Her first book, a work of magical realism, humor, and satire based on 9 years living in Brazil and much lauded and scrutinized by contemporary ecocritics as a work that pushes the boundaries of environmental writing. As Publishers Weekly said of the book, "This satiric morality play about the destruction of the Amazon rain forest unfolds with a diversity and fecundity equal to its setting." Yamashita has since been a National Book Award finalist. Very good on account of a crease to lower corner of front wrap; otherwise near fine, pages tight and clean, seemingly unread. // Wood (+) River (=) Books specializes in ecology, natural history, nature writing, the environment, and environmental literature, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions.

Description:
Holt, Rinehart, and Winston, 1976. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. Association copy, inscribed to Denise Levertov on the front free endpaper in the year of publication: "For Denise, who flowers in all available light, from Al with love--March 1976." Great association between these West Coast poets. Fine book, but rear board seems slightly longer that the front board (printer's error). In near fine jacket that is just a tad offset.
