Standing by Words

Wendell Berry · North Point Press · 1983

True first edition of this essay collection; North Point was Berry's US publisher and there was no earlier UK printing. Because North Point used no number line, verify a first printing by the clean copyright page (no statement of later or additional printings) rather than by a printer's key.
