Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. First edition. The Grizzly Edition, one of only 60 copies specially bound in cloth and quarter calf, signed by the photographer Tupper Ansel Blake, and including a rear portfolio of wildlife sketches drawn specifically for this production by Charles Schwartz. The book profiles in photography and writing the major California wilderness regions and describes their habitats and wildlife. Biologist A. Starker Leopold, Aldo Leopold's oldest son, provides the text; as the foreword and preface describe, he died midway into the project, after completing five chapters, and his student Raymond F. Dasmann stepped in to curate other material he'd previously written to fill in the rest. Starker Leopold was an important wildlife biologist and conservationist who for thirty years a professor in theZoology, Conservation, and Forestry departments at UC Berkeley. His book s Wildlife of Mexico and The California Quail were both winners of the Wildlife Society Publication of the Year Award. Charles Schwartz was a longtime friend of the Leopold family and did the illustrations for A Sand County Almanac.An oversized, oblong quarto, coffee-table style, bound in brown calf with gilt lettering to spine and gilt trim, an embossed grizzly footprint on front (grizzly the California state mammal and flag emblem). Calf also at the outer extent of each board, with beige cloth in between. Glossy pages in the interior with color photos throughout. A selected list of A. Starker Leopold's writing at finish, and one senses this volume, with Schwartz's contribution, stands as a quiet memorial to him. Schwartz's black and white prints are held in a folio attached to the inner rear board; the prints are in fine condition. The book is very good just on account of a few spots of foxing to the front board's cloth; otherwise fine. In a very good or better paper board slipcase with minor rubbing and one very small tear a the lower left corner of its opening. A wonderful item. Signed.
