Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. First Touchstone edition, later printing. Erstwhile remainder has black line on text block tail, o/w unmarked, unread, in Near Fine condition. "Since DESERT SOLITAIRE was published in 1968 it has attracted a national underground of fierce Abbey advocates and a torrent of critical acclaim--admired as much for the 'forthright prose and crusty personality of the author' as for its evocation of 'tense, vehement, joyous living' in the 33,000 acres of Arches National Monument where Abbey was sole custodian for three seasons." [publisher copy] 'Illustrations are by Peter Parnall, and are based on the author's copies of prehistoric Indian petroglyphs and pictographs found in various parts of southern Utah and northern Arizona.' From "the center of the world, God's navel, Abbey's country, the red wasteland," comes this extraordinary book: "A passionate celebration.a hymn of hate. Eloquent, bitter, extravagant."--Joseph Wood Krutch. Old but pristine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine.

Mass Market Paperback. Condition: Fine. 4 1/4" X 7", 303 pages. A celebration of the beauty of living in a harsh and hostile land. This book may well seem like a ride on a bucking bronco. It is rough, tough, combative. The author is a rebel and an eloquent loner. His is a passionately felt, deeply poetic book. It has philosophy. It has humor. it has its share of nerve-tingling adventures.set down in a lean, racing prose, in a close-knit style of power and bueaty.

Mass Market Paperback. Condition: Fine. Porter, Eliot (Cover Photo) (illustrator). First Paperback. Since its first publication in 1968, DESERT SOLITAIRE has steadily attracted a legion of fierce advocates. It reaches them with the directness of its theme - there is a happiness a person can encounter that is unique when you are a part of the land, especially the desert. Edward Paul Abbey (1927?1989) was an American author, essayist and environmental activist noted for his advocacy of environmental issues and criticism of public land policies. Eliot Furness Porter (1901?1990) was an American photographer best known for his color photographs of nature. Mass Market paperback's cover looks new. No creases in spine, light hint of shelfwear, minor indents from storage. Interior is tight, clean and unmarked. Copyright 1968. Hardcover published by McGraw-Hill.

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Peter Parnall (illustrator). First edition. 269pp. Octavo [22 cm] Brown cloth over boards, with title stamped in white and beige on spine. Spine ends bumped. Very mild scuffing to boards at foot. Small abrasion to rear pastedown. In a dust jacket with light rubbing and chipping along the edges and folds. Small loss at the head of spine. The author's fourth book and his first work of nonfiction. This collection of meditations by then park ranger Abbey in what was Arches National Monument of the 1950s was quietly published in the raucous sixties in a first edition of 5,000 copies and has now gone on to sell almost two million copies, taking its rightful place alongside Aldo Leopold's A Sand County Almanac and Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, as an environmental and wilderness classic. The late author's reflections transcend the mere genre of the environmental essay; the individual pieces form part of a fully realized whole that defined a whole new style of environmental and wilderness writing, inspiring new generations of writers (Barry Lopez and Terry Tempest Williams come to mind) while becoming the author's best known and best loved work in the process, and yes, becoming what Abbey always feared, "a classic".
