Updike, John Assorted Prose
New York Knopf 1965 First Edition Cloth
Fine in a Near Fine dustjacket. Bound in full yellow cloth. The spine is stamped in silver and gilt; the front panel in silver. Octavo. Brown topstain. 327pps. Stated First Edition. An excellent, collector's-quality copy: clean, tight, square, and bright. All tips are sharp. The textbock is immaculate; no apparent reading wear and no previous ownership markings. The dustjacket, glossy in a new mylar sleeve, has light wear to the extremities; the original price (5.95) is intact.
"...Includes Updike's early essays of humor and parody, some reportage for The New Yorker's "Talk of the Town," his description of Ted Williams' last appearance in Fenway Park, several semi- autobiographical first person accounts, and numerous book reviews. These all give us a well-rounded observation of the author.
Titles include: "Hub Fans Bid Kid Adieu," "On the Sidewalk, Mr. Ex-Resident," "Drinking from a Cup Made Cinchy," "The Dogwood Tree: A Boyhood," "The Lucid Eye in Silver Town," "My Uncle's Death," "Beerbohn and Others," "Faith in Search of Understanding," and "More Love in the Western World."

Updike, John Bech: A Book
New York Knopf 1970 First Edition, First Printing
Near Fine in a Near Fine dustjacket. Fully bound in orange cloth. Both the spine and the front board are silver-stamped. Yellow topstain. 206pps. Mild rubbing to the spine-ends. Also, there is a faint, almost indiscernible lean to the spine. Otherwise clean, tight, and bright. All tips are sharp. No reading wear or previous owner's markings. The dustjacket, glossy in a mylar sleeve, has touches of rubbing; no chips, sunning, or tears. The original price is intact. A very nice copy.
'...From Henry Bech's own foreword: Dear John, you are right. This monotonous hero who disembarks from an airplane, mouths words he doesn't quite mean, has vaguely to do with some woman, and gets back on the airplane, is certainly one Henry Bech. Until your short yet not unlongish collection, no revolutionary has concerned himself with our oppression, with the silken mechanism whereby America reduces her writers to imbecility and cozenage...'
