About This Item

Cambridge: Leavitt and Peirce, 1958. First Edition. First Edition, this being the uncommon hardcover variant. A series of recollections about Leavitt and Peirce, a tobacco shop and gathering place for Harvard men, published on the 75th anniversary of the shop. An early appearance by John Updike, who contributes his essay, "The Old Tobacconist."

Fine but for a single chip to the inner front hinge, in a Near Fine tissue jacket with just a bit of chipping at the spine ends.
