Pilgrim at Tinker Creek
Al Manso, New York, New York, 1974
Description
This is a personal narrative with a Walden-like approach, high lighting one year’s explorations on foot in the author’s own neighborhood. The jacket, typeface, endpapers, and the author’s drawing enhance the sensitivity and simplicity of the writing. The book was immediately chosen by the Book-of-the-Month Club, which affected the publisher’s initial printing and afforded a larger budget.
