Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Signed by Teale on the title page. An interesting volume, a mass paperback that's apparently scarce, with no other copies seemingly available and only four copies in libraries according to OCLC (only two in the US). A "Ladder Edition": As the front wrap declares, "This special editi…on is for readers for whom English is a second language. It can be read by anyone who has learned 2,000 words of English." It's an adaptation of Teale's Dune Boy, his memoir remembering his boyhood in the Sandhill Country, and is illustrative of a special effort to connect young or new readers of English to nature. A handsome little book, and undoubtedly extremely rare signed by Teale, whose signatures are uncommon in the first place. Near fine with toning to pages--great condition for a mass market paperback.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. A boxed set of Teale's acclaimed American Seasons series, four volumes, all signed. In Paul Brooks's review of American nature writing, *Speaking for Nature,* he describes this quartet as "a landmark in the literature of nature." In this set, Autumn Across America (1950) is a tenth p…rinting; Wandering Through Winter (1957; winner of the Pulitzer Prize) is a fourth printing; North With Spring (1951) is a twelfth printing; Journey Into Summer (1960) is a sixth printing. North With Spring is inscribed on the half-title page: "To Paul H. and Helen B. Danis--with the best wishes of the author--Edwin Way Teale." The other three are signed on the title page, all with the same pen. The books are fine except for faded spines. No jackets as issued. The textured-paper box is good/very good with wear to all edges, a dampstain on top, and cracking to the top rear edge, but holding firm; it includes a title plate (faded) announcing the series on once side, a great picture of Teale hiking in an alpine environment on the other. Also included in the set is a slim paperback biographical sketch of Teale by Edward H. Dodd, Jr. (the books' publisher), *Of Nature, Time and Teale.* Signed volumes by Teale are uncommon (not one of these titles is available signed as of April 2023), as is this boxed set. No statement of limitation, but from the other few examples we've seen, this set was not issued signed, making this an extremely rare find. // 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.
