A FIRST EDITION (1962), 11th Printing, of this seminal award-winning book that was the first to expose the dangers of pesticides to our planet, a prescient voice in what would become the global environmental movement, with its warnings more salient today than ever. In 368 pages with decorative endpapers, Index & extensive notes on sources, pen & ink drawings throughout by the artistic husband & wife team, Lois & Louis Darling. With deep green cloth-covered boards lettered in gilt to spine & front cover, this hardcover is in VG condition, though it is an Ex-Lib copy, with the usual stamps & markings to front matter & outside page edges. Else, very clean, binding strong & straight, hinges secure; pages creamy off-white but unmarked. The unclipped DJ is VG+, with slight rubbing & a few tiny chips to extremities, paper residue from old call number at lower spine; colors bright & unfaded. Old library mylar has been replaced with new & looks lovely! Our photos depict the Exact book you will receive from us, never "stock" images of books we don't actually have!
