About This Item
New York: Harper & Row. Very Good in Good dust jacket. 1964. Hardcover. The sequel to John Cheever's National Book Award winning novel, The Wapshot Chronicle, this copy of The Wapshot Scandal comes from the personal library of Wallace Stegner, who has signed his name on the first colored end paper. The dust jacket has a blue and gold graphic cover, wrapped in mylar. DJ is vibrant in color, but has started chipping along the jacket's edges, is lightly sunned and faded on the spine, and has two noticeable tears on the bottom of the front cover (one is nearly 1 inch long, and the other is almost half an inch). DJ is not price-clipped. The book has light blue cloth covered boards with black and gilt title art on the spine. There are signs of shelfwear on the bottom edge, bumped corners and slight folding on the tail band. Inside, the first endpages are lightly soiled, most likely by the three magazine and newspaper articles about John Cheever which are laid-in. Interior pages are clean with sharp corners. This volume chronicles the Wapshot family of St. Botolphs through adventures often ending in hilarity. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 309 pp; Signed by Notable Personage, Unrelated .
