About This Item
Tucson, AZ: University of Arizona Press, 1985. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good/Very Good. Mirocha, Paul. Gary Paul Nabhan's second book that dives deeper into the horticulture of the American Southwest and the edible plants still available. Much of Nabhan's work is derived from his close working relationship with the indigenous peoples of the area in which he works and their centuries of combined knowledge in regard to food and its gathering in arid regions. Inscribed by Nabhan on the title page. An increasingly scarce book, even moreso signed. First Printing. ix, 209 pp. 8vo. Slight wear and scuffing to dust jacket, now in mylar cover. Small stains at base of cover boards from shelving. Previous owner's blind embossed library stamp on first free endpaper. Clean within.
