About This Item
Boston & New York: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1996. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine in a Fine dustwrapper. A homage to this wilderness area in northwestern Montana. SIGNED and dated in 1996 on the half-title page.
Synopsis
The Yaak Valley of northwestern Montana is one of the last great wild places in the United States, a land of black bears and grizzlies, wolves and coyotes, bald and golden eagles, and even a handful of humans. But its magic may not be enough to save it from the forces threatening it now. In The Book of Yaak Rick Bass captures the soul of the valley itself, and he shows how, if places like the Yaak are lost, so too will be the human riches of mystery and imagination.
