Condition: Near Fine
Description: First Printing. Signed/inscribed by the author directly to the first endpage. The book is near fine, with only minor edgewear/sunning to the spine. The fragile first state dust jacket -- protected by a removable Brodart archival cover -- is very good, with the common toning to the spine/edges, and soiling/spotting to the rear panel. Still a sharp collectible copy of a rather scarce Updike work. Please be sure to check out the other John Updike titles in our inventory. We ship all of our books bubble-wrapped in sturdy, very well-padded boxes, so they are guaranteed to arrive in the exact same condition as when they left.
