About This Item
Alfred A. Knopf, 1982. 1st Edition . First Knopf edition. Near-fine with slight offsetting to endpapers, otherwise bright and clean inside and out. In a fine dust jacket with $11.50 price intact. INSCRIBED BY UPDIKE on the flyleaf to Stathis Orphanos, co-founder of Sylvester & Orphanos Publishing House and a well-known photographer who produced portraits of many famous authors, including Updike (who said he felt Orphanos gave him the definitive personality he always lacked). A beautiful signed copy with a nice association.
