 [ Large Image ] | The Library a Wilderness Henry David Thoreau 2021 / Journal excerpts / $60.00 Fine / 16 pp Edition is out of print This is a lively setting of Henry David Thoreau’s journal entries for March 15 and 16, 1852. In these passages, Thoreau celebrates the arrival of spring with the pronouncement of his desire to do better and live fuller, and to “have my immortality now.” This is also the source of his much-quoted assertion that the library is “a wilderness of books.” “Books which are books are all that you want—& there are but half a dozen in any thousand,” wrote Thoreau, and we hope that this little volume is one of them. This book was composed in Linotype Janson and printed letterpress on Zerkall mouldmade paper in black, green, yellow, blue and grey. Casebound in ochre cloth with straw-coloured mouldmade paper over boards. Issued wrapped in a yellow card band and a paper envelope printed in yellow and black. Small octavo format. Limited edition of 75 copies. | Other Books by this Author |  | Shoe-strings Henry David Thoreau 2023 / Essay / $25.00 CAN Fine / 8 pp |  | A Button Intercepts the Light and Casts a Shadow Henry David Thoreau 2022 / Essay / $20.00 CAN Fine / 8 pp |  | Man is Altogether Too Much Insisted On Henry David Thoreau 2021 / / $25.00 CAN Fine / 8 pp |  | Survey of a Swamp Henry David Thoreau 2019 / Essay / $25.00 CAN Fine / 8 pp |  | Still Deep and Sweet: Henry David Thoreau on Maple Sugaring Henry David Thoreau 2019 / Essay / $70.00 CAN Fine / 32 pp |  | The Dream of the Toad Henry David Thoreau 2017 / Essay / $25.00 CAN Fine / 12 pp |  | Walking Henry David Thoreau 2009 / Essay / $150.00 CAN 9781554470495 / Fine / 96 pp |
