Description:Signed by Author. Hardcover. First Edition. First Printing. 185...Signed by Author. Hardcover. First Edition. First Printing. 185 pages. As New in As New dust jacket. The author's "Tiger" book. One of the most beautiful Nature photography books ever published. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions, particularly copies that are signed on a bookplate. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. A brilliant production by Paul Buckley: Regular-sized volume format. Hard boards with black titles embossed on cover and metallic-orange titles embossed on spine, as issued. Text by Peter Matthiessen. Photographs by Maurice Hornocker. How he took the photographs is a tribute to both his eye and his intrepid-ness. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper to the highest standards. In pictorial DJ with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Presents the companion volume to Peter Matthiessen's "Snow Leopard", a lament as well as a polemic on behalf of a vanishing species whose eventual extinction Matthiessen sees as nothing less than an indictment of Homo Sapiens. The mindless despoliation of Planet Earth is so complete and in many cases, irreversible, that the only thing left to do is to wait for the end. Matthiessen is a conservationist but he is not a sentimentalist. Like all true lovers of the world we live in, his point is that the destruction of Nature will inevitably lead to the destruction of Man. "A gorgeously, sadly elegiac defense of the Siberian tiger as well as his vanishing relatives in India, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, China, and in the case of Iran, vanished. What Matthiessen knows and makes us feel is that the fate of the tiger is a kind of final judgment on whether human beings themselves can actually call themselves civilized" (Newsday). "Matthiessen is our greatest modern Nature writer in the lyrical tradition" (The New York Times). In the near future, we will have only this magnificent book to remind us of this beautiful animal. A "must-have" title for Peter Matthiessen collectors. This copy is very boldly and beautifully signed in black pen on the half-title page by Peter Matthiessen. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page or the bookplate which the publisher distributed to the trade. Matthiessen's bold signature is one of the best we have ever seen. This title is now highly collectible. This is one of very few signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and has no flaws, a pristine beauty. A rare signed copy thus. Lavishly illustrated with color photographs. One of the greatest living writers. A flawless collectible copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER PETER MATTHIESSEN TITLES IN OUR CATALOG).
