Description: This is a VERY RARE and EXTREMELY LIMITED autographed edition from Linda was hand stamped signed at PBS. In “Feels Like Home,” Grammy award-winning singer Linda Ronstadt effortlessly evokes the magical panorama of the high desert, a landscape etched by sunlight and carved by wind, offering a personal tour built around meals and memories of the place where she came of age. Growing up the granddaughter of Mexican immigrants and a descendant of Spanish settlers near northern Sonora, Ronstadt’s intimate new memoir celebrates the marvelous flavors and indomitable people on both sides of what was once a porous border whose denizens were happy to exchange recipes and gather around campfires to sing the ballads that shaped Ronstadt’s musical heritage. Following her bestselling musical memoir, Simple Dreams, this book seamlessly braids together Ronstadt’s recollections of people and their passions in a region little understood in the rest of the United States. This road trip through the desert, written in collaboration with former New York Times writer Lawrence Downes and illustrated throughout with beautiful photographs by Bill Steen, features recipes for traditional Sonoran dishes and a bevy of revelations for Ronstadt’s admirers. Linda uses a personalized hand stamp for autographs now due to her advanced Parkinson’s. This signature is authentic and a receipt of proof when it was acquired by PBS is included. All proceeds go to local homeless and women’s shelters in Colorado. Unread and stored. GORGEOUS bright cover. Binding is as tight as it came from the printer.

I use an antiquarian universal, standard grading scale to ensure a clear, accurate description of the book and dust jacket. * New (N): The book is in the same immaculate condition as when it was published. This could be the description for a book that has been kept in a warehouse for years, never shelved, thumbed or even opened yet may still be some years old. •Fine (F) New and Unread with Remarkable Dust Jacket. A Fine book approaches the condition of New, but without it being crisp. * Near Fine (NRF): A few small flaws are present Near Fine (FN): The book may have been opened and has no noticeable flaws. •Very Good (VG): A sound and collectible copy with some visible flaws but no tears - on either binding or paper.
