This like-new first American hardcover edition is untouched, no marks, pages are tight and appear unread, the book is tight, square, and unmarked. Dust cover is unmarked, yellow cloth boards, and bright gilt lettering on the spine of the book. The Old Ways: A Journey on Foot by Robert Macfarlane, released in 2012, is a richly poetic exploration of landscapes, history, and the ancient paths that shape our understanding of place. This book is part of Macfarlane’s broader body of work that delves into nature writing, alongside titles like Mountains of the Mind and The Wild Places.
