The Rabbit Angstrom Sequence, comprising: Rabbit, Run (Signed); Rabbit Redux; Rabbit is Rich; Rabbit at Rest (A Four-Volume Set)

John Updike

Verlag: Alfred A. Knopf, 1960

A handsome first edition set of the Rabbit Angstrom sequence, comprising Rabbit, Run (1960), Rabbit Redux (1971), Rabbit is Rich (1981), and Rabbit at Rest (1990). Rabbit, Run is the 'Second Printing Before Publication' and has been signed by John Updike on a plate to the title page; the other three volumes are first printings. All four books are at least Near Fine - bright, crisp and clean, free from foxing, marks and previous owner names and inscriptions. The original unclipped dustwrappers are crisp and vibrant. Rabbit, Run is Fine in quarter teal cloth and blue paper-covered boards; publisher's pale blue topstain, perhaps a touch faded. The first-state dustwrapper ($4.00 and 16 lines to the front flap) is Very Good: rubbed with wrinkling and a little fraying to the spine tips; rubbed to the corners, else, very bright and clean. Rabbit Redux is Near Fine+ in red cloth; publisher's sky blue topstain; toning to the other edges of the page block. The Near Fine+ dustwrapper has a minor wrinkle to the head of the spine, a touch of rubbing to the top-edge of the rear panel, and modest sunning to the red on the spine. Rabbit is Rich is Near Fine in mustard-coloured cloth; publisher's red topstain, lightly spotted; crease to the backstrip; tiny rub to the bottom-edge of the upper board. The Near Fine dustwrapper is lightly rubbed to the spine tips and front corners; tiny chip to the bottom-edge of the front panel (corresponding with the rub to the cloth). Rabbit at Rest is Fine in navy blue cloth; publisher's pink topstain; tightly bound, presenting as unread. The Fine dustwrapper has just the merest trace of toning to the folds and top-edge. The dustwrappers are presented in removable, archival-quality protective covers. A super set with the distinction of the author's signature. All orders are sent very carefully wrapped in bubble wrap and sturdy cardboard. Shipped free within the United Kingdom; a heavy set that will incur additional shipping (to cost) outside the UK.
