Price: US$500.00 + shipping
Description: Inscribed first edition of John Irving's Maine epic, following a doctor who is an "ether addict and abortionist" (front flap), sympathetically touching on reproductive rights issues in the time before Roe v. Wade. Spanning five decades from the 1920s to the 1970s, THE CIDER HOUSE RULES is at once intimate and epic, encompassing difficult personal decisions and broad moral thinking. Published during ongoing bombings of abortion clinics in the 1980s, this title is deeply influenced by John Irving's own stance on reproductive rights: he has often fund-raised for the National Abortion Rights League. It was adapted into an Oscar-winning film in 1999. 9.5'' x 6''. Original brown cloth-backed boards with gilt design to front and gilt lettering to spine. Original unclipped ($18.95) color pictorial dust jacket, designed by Honi Werner. 560 pages. Inscribed by Irving to title page, "For Michael / Holman / with my best wishes." Jacket with mild edgewear. Book spine ends a touch bumped, a touch of foxing to top edge. Sharp.
