About This Item
London: Victor Gollancz, 1959. First Edition. Cloth. Near Fine+/Near Fine in Archival Plastic. A collection of light verse inscribed by John Updike on the front free endpaper in blue ink: "Here it is The Carpentered Hen [underlined] for the Scranton Public Library and Marjorie Rees. John Updike." In black cloth, the book is in fine unread condition but for natural browning to the pages and a touch of a bump to the lower spine. The dustjacket is complete and in fine condition but for a touch of sunning to the spine and light soiling and wrinkling (at the upper edge). Overall a very nice copy.
