Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC, 2011, 1st/1st.  ISBN 978-1-56512-952-8.  Hard cover, 486 pages including Acknowledgements.  Very good plus; green boards with gold lettering on spine; spine ends lightly pushed; a few small age spots on outer page block; binding sound with head and tail bands.  Dust jacket has a bit of edge wear; publisher’s sticker over flap price.  Vertical crease on rear flap which appears to have caused vertical impressions on some end pages.  Book interior clean and unmarked; appears unread.  ‘At the foot of the Elwha River, the crude and muddy outpost of Port Bonita is about to boom, fueled by a ragtag band of dizzyingly disparate men and women, unified only in their visions of a more prosperous future. …Evison has written a grand and playful odyssey, a multilayered saga of destiny and greed, adventure and passion.  Stretching from the ragged mudflats of a belching and bawdy frontier to the rusting remains of strip-mall cornucopia, West of Here chronicles the life of one small town, turning America’s history into myth, and myth into a nation’s shared experience.’ (from flaps)
