First Edition of the author’s second novel and the first in his acclaimed Rabbit tetrology. Octavo. Signed by the author on the title page. Also laid in is a note from the author that reads, “For ____ ______ My own tiny contribution to Semitic studies. With admiration and affection, John”. Very good in a very good dust jacket.

"Updike’s choice of Rabbit Angstrom, in Rabbit, Run, was inspired, one of those happy, instinctive accidents that so often shape a literary career" (Books of the Century, 450). "Taken together, this quartet of novels has given its readers a wonderfully vivid portrait of one Harry (Rabbit) Angstrom . . . The books have also created a Kodachrome-sharp picture of American life . . . from the somnolent 50s . . . into the uncertainties of the 80s" (The New York Times).
