Illustrated throughout from photographs by Leigh Wiener; appendix, index. Beige cloth-backed green boards, matching paper spine label. A very fine copy with pictorial dust jacket. Jacket price-clipped and slightly soiled on the front. First edition. Includes nearly 400 letters arranged chronologically from the age of ten until the day before Jeffers' death.
