Description: (patterned paper-covered boards, brown cloth spine with gilt trim; issued without dust jacket) [a touch of foxing to the top and bottom edges of the text block, no other significant blemishes]. SIGNED by the author in blue ink on a tipped-in page at the front, beneath his printed name; one of an edition of 250 hand-numbered copies, this being #119. Updike, who moved to Ipswich in 1957, began reviewing local concerts in 1961 for the town newspaper, as a favor to the paper's owner, a friend; he used the pseudonym "H.H.," a doubling-up of his middle initial (his middle name being Hoyer). From his Introduction: " My concert-going belonged to a youthful, excitable time of life, a time of folly I could almost say, of which these twenty-two reviews, culled from moldering Chronicles, are a foolish residue."
