Henderson the Rain King
New York: The Viking Press (1959), 1959. First edition. Hardcover. 8vo. [9], 3-341, [1] pp. Quarter tan cloth over orange cloth with lettering in black, silver, and orange on the spine. First issue book with yellow topstain. Jacket design by Bill Preston. Jacket is either married or second issue since although it has the correct price of $4.50 printed on the front flap it has quotes about the novel from Granville Hicks and Paul Pickrel on the rear panel (and we have seen correctly priced jackets that only show three blurbs about Bellow as a novelist). A very attractive copy of Bellow's fifth book. Near Fine / Very Good. Item #00002513
A Near Fine book in a Very Good+ jacket with a hint or two of edge wear and a trace of barely perceptible sunning to the spine panel, along with some foxing to the reverse.
Price: $300.00
