The Centaur.
Book Description
First edition, first printing, signed by the author on the half-title; 8vo; publisher’s cloth-backed boards, slightly tanned around edges, dust-jacket slightly tanned at lower panel, overall very good.
Dealer Notes
A very good, signed first edition of this Updike classic, an evocative snapshot of modern life in north east America blended with ancient Greek mythology, in a wholly different style to the adventures of Percy Jackson.
