I have been "down sizing" my life as I begin preparing to move to another home in another state. In addition to Walden, I will be listing works by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Robert Browning, Elizabeth Bishop, Thoreau, Longfellow, Virginia Wolfe and Mary Oliver, all first editions. I have close to 30 of Oliver's books, many signed by Mary including No Voyage and The Traveler both signed.

After they are gone, who knows what I will be offering for sale. This item is in the category "Books & Magazines\Antiquarian & Collectible".
