Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. A terrific association copy, given the inscription on the half title: "For Alice and Proc Mellquist, Affectionately, Wallace Stegner." Proctor Mellquist was the longtime editor of Sunset Magazine, based in Menlo Park, a magazine that for decades help…ed define a Western culture that Wallace Stegner also represented and promulgated. As another Sunset editor Bill Marken reflected, Mellquist and his predecessor Walter Doty "were there for the 1940s-1960s when Sunset vividly reflected and also powerfully shaped the distinctive lifestyle emerging during a time of unprecedented western population growth, prosperity, and creativity." Mellquist took over in 1954 and carried on as editor until (it seems) 1981 a 25 year tenure. Bill Lane, the magazine s publisher of 40 years, reflected that "[Doty] should go down in the history of one of Sunset s great editors. Some people would say he was probably the greatest editor of Sunset, although Proctor Mellquist in my opinion was as great or maybe greater." Meanwhile, Stegner admired the magazine and was a strong supporter of it. "You can t look closely at Sunset without developing a considerable respect for the intelligence that goes into that operation," he said. He went so far as to appear in a promotional video on the magazine s history. In turn, publisher Bill Lane was so influenced by Stegner s writing that he eventually endowed the Jean and Bill Lane Lecture Series and a Center for the West at Stanford, as well as Peninsula Open Space Trust s (POST s) Wallace Stegner Lecture Series (we wish we could have gotten our hands on this association copy, too). Mellquist and Stegner also sat together as advisory board members for the organization California Tomorrow, one of the first to push for smart growth, and they helped publish its newsletter, Cry California. Like a true editor, Mellquist suggested the group change the name of their project from the dry Resource Policy Institute to California Tomorrow. Stegner also weighed in editorially, writing in response to an early draft of a publication, "Let s not give the impression we expect people to go out and shove a stick of dynamite up the old Essex s exhaust." As for Alice Mellquist, apparently she regularly contributed recipes to Sunset, another token of the times. This particularly copy is a first edition hardcover in near fine condition with some minor soiling at board edges and a couple of bumps, as well as some unidentified speckling to the top of the page block; in a near fine jacket with only a little wear around the edges. The book won the Pulitzer Prize in 1971. All in all, a book and an association that embodies both the culture of California during this era, and the challenge of its runaway growth. // Wood (+) River (=) Books specializes in place-based and environmental literature, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Association copy, inscribed to Steinbeck scholar and fellow Bay Area writer Maurice Dunbar on the dedication page in blue ink: "For Maury Dunbar, from Wallace Stegner, Los Altos Hills, CA Jan. 17, 1983." Stegner lived in Los Altos Hills--likely the book w…as signed at Stegner's home. On the green front free endpaper is a 3 x 5" color snapshot portrait of Stegner in his home (with period furniture and a shelf of Easten Press leather volumes behind him), which is dated "Nov. 12 1990" in pen at its lower left; in the photo Stegner is smiling for the camera with his hands in his pockets. Dunbar's bookplate with his De Anza College address label at top is opposite on the paste down (the address of the Aladdin Bookshop in Oklahoma is written in small script on the bookplate, too--presumably where Dunbar bought the book). Dunbar was a professor of English at De Anza College in nearby Cupertino and also wrote several volumes on book collecting. First printing. This book won the Pulitzer Prize. A fine book in a near fine jacket with a touch of edge wear to outer flap folds and a very faint rectangular discoloration that wraps around uppermost spine (perhaps the shadow of some kind of label), neither of which is noticeable without close scrutiny. But the association and the snapshot makes this volume unique and highly desirable. // Wood (+) River (=) Books specializes in place-based and environmental literature, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions.

Wraps. Condition: Fine. Program: octavo size, [24] pp., signed by Wallace Stegner; Poster: 25" high. In order to help celebrate the 200th anniversaries of both the nation and the City of San Francisco (which took place on June 29, 1776, when colonists from Spain established the Presidio of San Francisco at the Golden Gate and Mi…ssion San Francisco de Asís a few miles away), the San Francisco Opera adapted Wallace Stegner's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, "The Angle of Repose" into an opera. Offered are two items from the World Premiere which took place in November of 1976: the program, which is signed by Stegner underneath his printed name on page [15], along with the opera company poster for the same. The program includes pieces by the composer, the librettist, the conductor, and Stegner, with the signature of Wallace Stegner (N.B., not recorded in Colberg). The poster has an illustration of "Fia" (1965) by Sam Tchakalian, San Francisco artist and teacher admired for his forceful abstract paintings. ___DESCRIPTION: Program: original rose wrappers printed in brown with title and the names of the performers, tan paper printed in brown ink, illustrated; octavo size (9" by 5.5"), unpaginated [24] pp., signed by Wallace Stegner on p. [15]. Poster: reproduction of the abstract painting "Fia", banners above and below with black lettering on white containing the details of the production; the poster measures 25" by 17.5", with the reproduction of the Tchakalian abstract being 15.5" by 17.25". ___CONDITION: Program: fine, like new. Poster: Very good, some foxing to the white areas and overall shallow creasing, free of tears or sharp folds, free of markings. ___POSTAGE: Please note that if you wish the poster shipped flat additional postage will apply (our standard is to ship rolled in a cylinder); please inquire for details. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA, ILAB, and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell. Please contact us with any questions you may have, we are here to help. Casey, Lawrence (illustrator).

Condition: Very good plus. First Edition. Original Cornell-ian book sculpture that interprets Stegner's classic title literally, featuring a reclining bespectacled paper figure reaching longingly into a recess carved into the book-block. Bruno Pasquier-Desvignes defies classification. THE NEW YORK TIMES calls him "part tinkerer…and part storyteller, a cross between Alexander Calder and Jean Tinguely;" filmmaker James Ivory compares him to Picasso, noting his ability to "pick up any old thing lying around, see its possibilities for transformation and then turn it into a new and enchanting thing" (RURAL INTELLIGENCE). Pasquier-Desvignes's book sculptures highlight his ingenuity, creativity, and humor, as he toys with the idea of a codex as a container. 8.25'' x 5.25''. Original blue cloth binding. Bookblock fused with glue, with rectangular recess cut into center. Red figure pasted to edge of recess, color pictorial magazine cutting pasted to back of recess. Signed by Pasquier-Desvignes to second blank and dated "Aug 14 1987." Edges of bookblock with scattered foxing. Glue starting to tone slightly. Solid. Signed.
