Sold
Softcover. Uncorrected proof. Fine in printed blue wrappers. Winner of both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award for fiction. John Updike's copy with a letter to Updike laid in from the publisher Barbara Grossman sending the book and noting "Try to not love it." There is no obvious evidence that Updike took Grossman up on the challenge as it appears he made no obvious marks in the text.
