This was the edition my father had, which I read in high school and which left such a mark on me. A quarter century later, I went to work at Ecco. I told Dan how much I'd relished the book and was bummed to see it out of print. You should reissue it! he said. And so I did (Ecco, 2010). It lives!

The book has an interesting publishing history. Fowles' text was originally published to accompany the illustrious photographer Frank Horvat's photos of trees (Little Brown, 1979)...
