(UPDIKE, John)
75 Aromatic Years of Leavitt & Peirce in the Recollection of 31 Harvard Men
Cambridge, Leavitt & Peirce, 1958. The hardcover issue of this very early appearance in print by Updike [Roberts B2]. Harvard alumni commemorate the 75th anniversary of a tobacco store and gathering place; Updike contributes a poem, "The Old Tobacconist." Fine in a heavily chipped glassine dustwrapper, presumably original. Inscribed by the President of Leavitt & Peirce, Richard Ehrlich, who also provides a foreword. Time magazine review laid in. A very scarce book in the hardcover printing, especially in jacket.
