FROM THE HOUSE

Sam Campbell wrote the outdoors with the kind of affection that makes the woods feel inhabited, not merely described. A Tippy Canoe and Canada Too has the charm of mid-century wilderness writing: canoe water, animal encounters, camp wisdom, and that particular optimism found in books written by people who still believed nature could teach manners to modern life. Signed and jacketed, this copy has real collector appeal for the shelf that favors cabins, canoes, and civilized dirt under the fingernails.
