About This Item
W. W. Norton & Company, 2008. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. Signed in blue ink by both authors on the title page. Association copy, notable for a one-page typed letter signed by Michael Bloomberg on the City of New York, Office of the Mayor, official stationary, dated January 16, 2009. It's addressed to "Mayor Benton," conveys and touts the book, and highlights NYC's model progress towards energy efficiency. Bloomberg notes at the finish that he's providing the book to "many of the mayors who signed the U.S. Mayor's Climate Protection Agreement in Seattle last fall." The rear jacket also has a blurb from him, reading in part: "Krupp and Horn have turned the doom and gloom of global warming on its head." Also laid in is a promotional postcard for the book. Letter has a "received" stamp dated January 22 and is very near fine because of faint crease across the top left corner. Book is fine in a near fine jacket with some light edge-creasing to top and bottom and a stripe of rubbing where the backing turns to boards underneath. We invite you to explore our dedicated, growing collection of signed and inscribed climate change books, including many association copies.

About Rural Hours
Rural Hours (formerly Wood + River = Books, est. 2019) specializes in ecology, natural history, nature writing, the environment, environmental literature, and contemporary essay, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions. We draw our name from the popular-but-then-forgotten book by Susan Fenimore Cooper (published in 1850), generally considered the first work of environmental creative nonfiction by a woman in the U.S. We are interested in challenging and expanding the canon of environmental literature and finding books that tell remarkable stories and illuminate the tradition of writing about place and natural history.
