Signed
Acquainted with the Night
A signed first-edition, first-printing hardcover of Acquainted with the Night: Excursions Through the World After Dark by Canadian author and poet Christopher Dewdney, published by HarperCollins in 2004. The full number line ending in 1 confirms the first printing, and the book retains its illustrated dust jacket.
Dewdney approaches night as both a natural phenomenon and a rich field of human experience, moving through subjects that include astronomy, nocturnal wildlife, sleep and dreams, mythology, literature, art and the culture of the dark hours. The book was recognized as a finalist for the Governor General’s Literary Award for nonfiction and the Charles Taylor Prize for Literary Non-Fiction.
This copy is flat signed by Christopher Dewdney on the title page, with no personalized inscription visible. It is seller-graded Very Good. The dust jacket shows light shelf and edge wear, including minor wear near the lower spine and corners, while the photographed title and copyright pages appear clean. The book and jacket shown are the copy offered.
Please examine all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description and provide the best record of this copy’s edition, signature and condition.
