Checkerback's Journeyis her fourth book and her second work of nonfiction. It follows a ruddy turnstone on its migration from Martinique to the Arctic tundras and "tells the fascinating story of the ecology of our entire Atlantic seacoast." See this short original review of the book in The New York Times.With an illustration on almost every page by Betty Fraser. A nice collaboration between women. A small quarto in mustard cloth. A very good book on account of a hard bump to lower corner that split the cloth about a quarter inch at the front hinge, otherwise near fine. In a very good jacket with a short tear in that same spot, toning, darkening to spine, a few scattered stains.
