Washington, DC, Island Press, 2012. The advance reading copy of this account of Schaller's 30 years of work in Tibet. From the library of Peter Matthiessen, and with a letter from an editorial assistant at Island Press to Matthiessen laid in, soliciting comment. Matthiessen appears twice in the text, and given that the book is dedicated "For my companions on these many journeys into the wild," Matthiessen would have been one of the book's dedicatees. Near fine in wrappers. [#032448] SOLD
