This very good first printing of 150 plus pages filled with full color art and a fold-out map is signed by the artist on the title page. The book is bright, tight, and clean, free of names and writings. The bottom on the back cover is bent inward and the next pages are affected. The very good minus dust jacket has a "rolled" appearance at the bottom of the back cover.

About this title

Synopsis

As a child growing up in the concrete canyons of New York City, Bruce Aiken dreamed of someday living at the end of a long dirt road. Little did he know that this road would lead more than five miles down a narrow, steep trail into the depths of the Grand Canyon. Nor could he predict that he would live in this unlikely place for more than thirty years.
In a remote side canyon along a stream that ultimately flows into the Colorado River, Bruce and his wife Mary raised three children while he tended Grand Canyon National Park's precious water supply at Roaring Springs.
Waking, working, living in the depths of the canyon gave him access to its every mood, every season, and myriad vantages. Bruce Aiken's perspectives on the Grand Canyon are unparalleled. He knows the canyon as few human beings do. And through his paintings he has chronicled this intimate affair.
