Description
This is a very good copy of the First Printing of Updike’s first novel. The price-clipped dust jacket is chipped along the edges and at the head and tail of the spine, and there is an inch-long tear in the front right corner.The book has light foxing on the prelims, the ghost of an erased inscription on the front free endpaper and darkened pages.
