Scarce as such--presumably signed at the book launch in 2018. An anthology that meditates on the influence of Thoreau, including on John Muir, and on the unofficial naming of a Sierra Nevada peak (Peak 12,691) in his honor by the participants up an ascent in 2014 (Gary Snyder and David Robertson stayed at the trailhead).

He was the first editor of Apollo, the International Art Magazine from 1925-1929.Each front paste down bears a decorative bookplate printed with the name Mackmurdo. A suggestive association with English architect and designer Arthur Heygate Mackmurdo, who heavily influenced the Arts and Crafts Movement when he set up the Century Guild of Artists with Herbert Home in 1882.
