No. 3 of 50 copies. The author catalogues her love hate relationship of her rural birthplace in North Carolina and its natural world -- flowers, insects, storms. The love quotient, or appreciation, had grown with separation from the environment after fleeing to urban living, and that fondness is reflected in the gauzy dreamlike artwork she lavishes on each of the former peeves. Oblong, 14.5 by 21.5 cm. Unpaginated, 25 pages with some content, written and/or visual. Thin brown paper leaf, front and back, then bound in a Japanese Fukurotoji style, with sheets folded over, inner pockets without content. 26 panels in this core part. Line drawings by text credited to a 1950 edition of Webster's dictionary. The color magnesium plates are based on the author's color pencil drawings. Each copy of the book required 75 passes through the press, and other details of the book's creation are shared on the limitation and signature page at the end. Hardcover. Paper pastedown. Cloth slipcase.

Shipping terms
The shipping cost provided automatically by ABE assumes that the item is the size of an average hardcover book. Since our stock is comprised largely of material which is bigger and heavier, we will often need to request additional shipping charges as a result. We pride ourselves on always packing safely, with the actual materials and method of packing depending on the item(s), where it is going, and with whom we are shipping. We most frequently use the post office, but on some high value items, or upon request, we may use alternatively UPS or FedEx. With the postal service, to domestic destinations with lower value items and the automatically furnished ABE shipping quote, we will usually use Media Mail; on higher value items we are partial to Priority or Express Mail. We will always seek to comply with a customer's wishes if they are communicated to us. When we seek additional shipping charges, we pass along those charges at our cost -- we do not add for handling or materials generally.
