About this Item
Description:
SIGNED. NF/NF. Stated First Edition. First printing with number line ending in 1. Signed on the title page. The book is tight with solid hinges and good tips. Light thin vertical marks on upper boards, spine ends gently pushed, and faint dusting to the top fore-edges. The textblock has a ghost of a bookstore's pencil marking "signed" in the upper right corner ffep, otherwise the book is clean with no writing, bookplate, or markings and not BCE, ex-library, or remaindered. The dust jacket is unclipped ($21.00) with faint shelf wear (see photos). Protected in a new Brodart Mylar cover. 239 pages. 5¼ x 8¼". Anne Lamott?s classic, humorous, and practical guide to writing offers advice on the creative process, handling self-doubt, and finding inspiration. The book's title comes from the advice given to her by her father to tackle large projects "bird by bird?, by focusing on one small piece at a time. She encourages writers to embrace the messy, often imperfect first draft and find authenticity in personal experiences. Lamott uses her own life experiences, including alcoholism and single motherhood, to illustrate lessons on discipline, emotional honesty, and the value of a daily writing routine.
