CAPE
COD:
ILLUSTRATED EDITION OF THE AMERICAN
CLASSIC
(ISBN 0618758453)
BY HENRY DAVID THOREAU
PHOTOGRAPHS BY SCOT
MILLER
INTRODUCTION BY ROBERT D. RICHARDSON
Published in collaboration with The Walden Woods Project
Originally
published in 1865 by Houghton and Mifflin’s predecessor, Ticknor and
Fields, Henry David Thoreau’s
Cape Cod is a wonderfully written, surprisingly funny
account of 19th century life on the Cape, well before it became a
major tourist attraction. To this day, many people consider it to be
the best book ever been written about Cape Cod. This new illustrated
edition features the complete 1906 Houghton Mifflin edition text of
Thoreau's classic work, the stunning photography of Scot Miller, and
a foreword from preeminent Thoreau biographer Robert Richardson.
For his book,
Thoreau spent about three weeks in Cape Cod on three trips over a
six-year period. Scot Miller spent about six weeks on seven trips
over a sixteen-month period. Thoreau observed and wrote about the
landscape, seascape and culture. Scot observed and photographed the
same of today. Many of the lush color photographs have a timeless
quality and show things Thoreau could easily have seen: the Great
Beach, imposing cliffs, sand dunes, beautiful sunrises and sunsets,
beach grass, seaweed; others reflect the unique personality of Cape
Cod and its people today: from local artists to architecture. The
combination of Thoreau's timeless text and Miller’s exquisitely
reproduced color photographs make this an indispensable addition for
anyone who loves Thoreau's writing and the perfect book for anyone
who loves Cape Cod or photography.
The book is being
published in association with the Walden Woods Project, which is
dedicated to preserving the lands Thoreau wrote about. For each copy
sold, Houghton Mifflin and Scot Miller are making a donation to the
Walden Woods Project.

The most beautiful
edition ever published of one of the most important books in
American history!
In August 1854
Houghton Mifflin's predecessor, Ticknor & Fields, published a book
called Walden; or, Life in the Woods, by a little known
writer named Henry David Thoreau. In August 2004, Houghton
Mifflin in association with the Walden Woods Project proudly
published a special 150th anniversary edition, beautifully
illustrated with Scot Miller's spectacular color photographs, which
capture Walden as vividly in images as Thoreau captured it in words.
In the spirit of Thoreau, the book is priced at half a cent less
then he spent building his cabin at Walden Pond.

A freshly annotated text of Walden, edited by Jeffery Cramer, the Thoreau Institute's
Curator of Collections, and published by Yale University Press.
It has been called a "handsome, all-things-Walden edition" by
The
Boston Globe. Thoreau-scholar Joel Porte said: "There is
nothing like this- within the covers of one book- in the world of
Thoreau scholarship... It amounts to a Thoreau encyclopedia in
one volume."
