With the quite scarce accompanying twenty-one page "Notes From the Editors" commentary laid in.Illustrations by Jerry Pinkney. Octavo, 342 pp. As New; immaculate and pristine. See scans. Franklin's lavish leather binding of the Signed, Limited Edition of the two-time Pulitzer Prize winning Updike's 1960 first entry in the famed series of novels about the too-gray life of Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom, who had the misfortune of running into what we pretty much all do: ordinary life. Artist Jerry Pinkney got the mood, and his illustrations herein reflect it. Flame Red top grain Kamenna Cowhide binding, gilt decorated and imprinted, spine panels rib divided, All Edges Gilt, moire endpapers of a truly beautiful Old Copper color, and a matching Old Copper satin page-marker ribbon. The gilt is 22 karat; the paper is 65-pound Old Style White Wove (first developed in 1932, when Updike was born); text set in 11-point Times Roman type. The Franklin Library, doing what they did best. As New; pristine and flawless, and protectively archived since arrival; page-marker has in fact never been moved. With Updike's "A Special Message to Subscribers from John Updike" prefacing the novel, and the seldom-retained "Notes from the Editors" which arrived with original shipments of the piece. Please see all scans. Show this one off on the cocktail table; get a market copy to read. l-frnkln2.
