Description
Franklin Library leather edition of John Updike's "Rabbit Is Rich," Illustrated by James Campbell, one of the Pulitzer Prize Classics series, published in 1985. Bound in red leather, the book has decorative marbled paper end leaves, a satin book marker, symth-sewn binding, hubbed spine, gold gilding on three edges---in near FINE condition---except for previous owner's crimped book press on title page and minor imperfection to gilt---mentioned for accuracy. John Hoyer Updike, who lived from 1932--2009, was an American novelist and short story writer. In a Special Message to subscribers, Updike wrote: "In these books Harry, a lower-middle-class former star athlete living in Brewer, Pennsylvania, flees (into the arms of a prostitute) from what he considers the trap of marriage, then experiments disastrously with alternative offered by the counterculture before return to his wife, Janice." By the time of "Rabbit is Rich," set in 1979, Updike's "angst-ridden Everyman" is still living with Janice, and has gained relative affluence as the local Toyota dealer. But Harry's college-dropout son, Nelson, whom he sees as arrogant, pushy, "pinning me in" has arrived back home. This is the third book in the "Rabbit" trilogy. 467 pages. I offer Combined shipping.

Quite the surprised, at first I thought I ordered something from a pet shop because of the box turns out to be my order xD. My books were well packaged no noticeable box damage internally and externally. They were as described in the listing and shipped promptly in a 2 weeks window. Would recommend seller.
