About this Item

Hardcover with dust jacket. First Edition. Inscribed by the author. 8vo (5.75 x 9.25 in.). Book has beige cloth over boards, stamped silver lettering on the spine. It is in beautiful shape with sharp corners, no stains, etc. Binding is tight, pages are clean. On the title page the author has written: "For Christina-with hugs. Susan Tweit, RMBF, Denver (RMBF is for Rocky Mountain Book Fair). The jacket is very nice but the spine has been suno-faded to a light green, which contrasts (but also meshes) with the overall light burgundy on front and back. The cover features a drawing by Ann W. Douden, who also offers several drawings throughout the book. This is a beautiful quiet rumination, by month, of the author's move with her husband and stepdaughter to Boulder, CO, after living for years in the Pacific Northwest.

About this title

Synopsis

SIGNED/INSCRIBED BY AUTHOR/FIRST EDITION(dated title page).V/G to LIKE NEW DJ, LIKE NEW BOOK. 1990 Roberts Rinehart hardcover, Susan J. Tweit (Walking Nature Home: A Life's Journey). Explore the world of urban nature in this award-winning, journal-style memoir of a year in Boulder, Colorado, a city known for its striking setting at the foot of the Rocky Mountains. Much more than a starry-eyed paean to nature’s wonders, Pieces of Light is a “journey of the heart,” where Tweit's year is spent reaffirming her bonds, healing her spirit, and settling her young family into a powerfully alluring landscape - until they must move away for work in a distant state. - Amazon

Store Description

The legendary Brodsky Bookshop is the oldest bookshop in magical Taos, New Mexico. It was founded as an eclectic store specializing in new books in 1977 by the late Lee Brodsky in a long, narrow space next to the Taos Inn on Paseo del Pueblo Norte. In the 1980 s Lee purchased Dr. Cook s old office (alleged to have once been a house of ill-repute) a little farther up Pueblo Norte across from Kit Carson Park, and the bookshop moved for the first time. When Lee went to Book Heaven in 1992, my husband (Rick Smith) and I (Morris Witten) bought the bookshop. Along with the off and on assistance of some dedicated staff and the occasional help of our sons, we have continued Lee s tradition of a highly eclectic but always fascinating family owned and operated bookshop. When the internet changed bookselling forever (the last book we sold some awfully good customers was Internet for Dummies ) we began to take a few used books in trade. In the late 90 s we moved the bookshop three doors North to the Ortiz Building (across from the Nicolai Fechin House)and began dealing in both new and used books. We also carry a strange and interesting ever-changing selection of LPs. On March 1st, 2021, we moved one block north into a cozy spot more suitable for doing business online; i.e., space for more books and room to pack boxes. Our online inventory features some of our more unusual and outstanding titles. If you don t see what you want here, please email us. We are happy to search for new, used and rare titles. Next time you re in northern New Mexico stop by and say hello. As we say in our ads -- we are the little bookshop with big surprises.
