Description

As new, oversize paperback, published in Alaska by Northbooks. First edition, first printing. Synopsis from publisher’s website: “Dr. Edward C. Godnig, Optometrist, arrived in Alaska in 2003 and began his next adventure. After a period of introductory trips with experienced opticians, he founded The Eye Guys based in Wasilla, Alaska. He regularly travels to over seventy remote Alaska villages by plane, boat, and snowmobile to serve the vision care needs of a very diverse and isolated population of Alaska Eskimo, Indian, and classic “Sourdoughs” living in bush Alaska. New Eyes on Old Alaska is written in diary form as Edward recounts his interesting meetings with the First People of the land, the fun times, and the downright dangers when navigating the trails of Alaska. His perspective on the still remote and wild lands of bush Alaska will have readers seeing this land through new eyes as he transitions his personal and professional life from the civilized East Coast to life on the Last Frontier. He has this to say upon completing his new book… “Three years of Bush travel have reshaped my life and enabled me to learn much about this diverse and complex state called Alaska. I hope readers can appreciate some of my excitement recalling first impressions of the people and places of Alaska that few outsiders get a chance to experience. Perhaps my impressions will motivate you to explore Alaska.” 392pp., Illustrated with black and white photographs. An unread, as new copy.
