Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1962.

Hardcover. First edition. Tiny nick on front fly else fine in about fine dustwrapper with a couple of tiny tears and a few small rubbed spots, but otherwise a remarkably fresh and bright copy. A classic of environmental literature, a long essay that appeared in *The New Yorker* and eventually resulted in the banning of the use of DDT. Not a particularly rare book, but in nicer than usual condition.
