William Hamilton Gibson
181 pages~3 hr 37 min read34 chapters$4.99
Look closely and the commonplace turns astonishing. Gibson's sketches spy out the floundering beetle, the glow of fox-fire, the tumble-bug at work, and the fairy sponges of the pond, each drawn from a naturalist's sharp and playful eye. Charming and richly illustrated. Learn to spy the small marvels hiding in plain sight.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
