hardcover. Condizione: Fine. DETAILS: fresh attractive copy, fine condition, there are in fact relatively few illustrations and they are mostly old-fashioned portraits as you would expect from an 1897 edition. THOREAU, HENRY DAVID. The illustrated Walden. Introduction by Bradford Torrey. New York: TarcherPerigee, an imprint of Penguin Random House, 2016, 5th printing, xxxiv, 361pp., . Series: Thoreau Bicentennial edition. NOTE: the publisher's description is somewhat exaggerated. This is a pleasant hardcover republication of a 1902 edition, but it is neither sumptuous nor richly illustrated. - "The Illustrated Walden was originally published in 1897 as a two-volume "Holiday Edition" of Walden, and republished in 1902 as a single volume." - "To coincide with the bicentennial of Thoreau's birth and TarcherPerigee's publication of Expect Great Things: The Life of Henry David Thoreau, here is a sumptuous rediscovery edition of the first illustrated volume of Thoreau's classic, as originally issued in 1897. In 1897, thirty-five years after Thoreau's death, Houghton Mifflin issued a two-volume "Holiday Edition" of Walden illustrated with thirty remarkable engravings, daguerreotypes, and period photographs. In 1902 the publisher collected the work into a single volume. Now, to mark the bicentennial of Thoreau's birth in 1817, this timeless landmark is reproduced with all of the original illustrations and the complete text of his mystical, practical, magisterial record of a life in the woods.".

large PAPERBACK, DEEP spine crease at page 193, text clean, reading copy only. library stamp blacked out on title page, no other library markings apparent. THOREAU, HENRY DAVID. Wild fruits: Thoreau's rediscovered last manuscript - DAMAGED COPY. Edited and introduced by Bradley P. Dean ; illustrations by Abigail Rorer. New York: W.W. Norton, 2001, xvii, 409pp., . This wonderful book is both a practical and philosophical field guide to the natural gifts of the American countryside. The final harvest of our great nature writer's last years, Wild Fruits presents Thoreau's distinctly American gospel -- a sacramental vision of nature in which "the tension between Thoreau the naturalist and Thoreau the missionary for nature's wonders invigorates nearly every page" (Time). In transcribing the 150-year-old manuscript's cryptic handwriting and complex notations, Thoreau specialist Bradley P. Dean has performed a "heroic feat of decipherment" (Booklist) to bring this great work to light. Readers will discover "passages that reach for the transcendentalist ideal of writing new Scriptures, yet grounding this Bible in a vision of practical ecology" (Boston magazine). Wild Fruits is beautifully illustrated throughout with line drawings of the natural life Thoreau considered on his walks. 9780393321159 ISBN 0393321150. …

Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. Here is the 1966 paperback reprint of Henry David Thoreau's book "Cape Cod" It was published by Thomas Y. Crowell in its 'Apollo Editions' series. This edition is now Out of Print. "This is the account of three walking trips that Thoreau made on Cape Cod in 1849, 1850, and 1855. Thoreau found a deep satisfaction in the simplicity of the Cape Codders' ways, the bare beauty of the landscape, and the ever-present ocean. With relish and good humor, he describes what he saw on his tramps about this wind-swept peninsula : remains of a shipwreck, windmills, seaweed, sea creatures, the changing water in its various moods, ships, lighthouses, birds, the scrubby vegetation, and especially the people. He enjoyed talking with the old salts, and this book is full of their yarns. " As always with Thoreau, his observations of nature caused him to meditate on their meaning, and the mighty waters pounding the Cape Cod beaches fascinated him. Here was the great elemental force - two thirds of the globe- teeming with animals, treacherous to seamen, but possessing many kinds of beauty. Thoreau met the elements and found them bracing. The country itself had the simplicity he had always striven to attain. Facing the ocean on Cape Cod, he wrote : 'A man may stand there and put all America behind him.' " (The above was excerpted from the rear cover write-up.)

Hardcover. Condizione: Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. xiii, 348, incl. index, + portr. fp. Rugged copy of this splendid book: well-loved by a former owner, ready to be loved anew. Black cloth; gilt lettering, top panel and spine; blue-green topstain; deckling fore and tail; portrait frontispiece in photogravure. The exterior shows wear: spine and top panel bear rubbed lettering and small but stark white stains (photos); corners bumped and frayed; deckling compressed. Within, we find two flaws only: an ex-libris (front paste-down) has been attached by clear tape, now yellowed; a few passages have been lightly marked by a vertical line in blue pencil; however, all text well preserved. Paper stock is generally tanned, but binding remains sound. We'd better add a third flaw: a news clipping has left its ghost at rear EP; since the damage is done, we have left this ephemeral relic in place (an interesting bit about Thoreau's visits to Monadnock). No DJ; archival cover supplied. For an excerpt, see photos.…
