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 helped 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 was 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.
