Condition: Fine
Description: 8vo. Green cloth. Dust jacket. 299 pp. This is a book club edition of Updike's 1978 novel with signature pasted to title page. It's worth noting that this is not a "signed book" per se, as a previous owner has pasted in Updike's signature from another source. The signature does appear to be authentic, but it is unlikely that Updike personally handled this copy. The price reflects this consideration.

Price: US$300.00 + shipping
Condition: Fine
Description: First edition. Fine in fine dustwrapper. Updike's violently realistic tale of the imaginary African country of Kush. Inscribed by the author: "for Herb, Cheers, John Updike." Herb Yellin was the founder and publisher of Lord John Press and the most frequent of Updike's fine press collaborators. He named his press after noting that the list of authors he wanted to publish all shared the same first name, chief among them John Updike, his favorite. *Hub Fans Bid Kid Adieu* became the press's first book in 1977 with 10 more to follow over the next 23 years. Yellin's friendship with Updike grew with each new limited edition benefitting his already enormous Updike collection, with Updike himself contributing copies of new editions of his books - often inscribed. In a 2010 interview with Yellin he noted that Updike ".liked that if anything ever happened to his own collection, he had my collection on the opposite side of the country." A notable association.
