Description:
London: Victor Gollancz Ltd, 1948. Very good plus in very good jacket.. First UK edition of the novel based on Fletcher's legendary radio play, exploiting the startlingly modern anxiety that a terrible, terrible thing will happen if you make a phone call. Lucille Fletcher's SORRY, WRONG NUMBER was first written and produced as a radio play in 1943, in which form it eventually won an Edgar Award and the highest of high praise from Orson Welles (for whom she would write the equally legendary "The Hitch-Hiker.") In 1948, Fletcher adapted her story as a screenplay for what was to be a classic film noir starring Barbara Stanwyck and Burt Lancaster, and in the same year this novelized version, written with Allan Ullman, was published. Scarce. 7'' x 5''. Original blue cloth with gilt-lettered spine. In original unclipped (7/6) dust jacket. 118 pages. Light edgewear; offsetting and some foxing to endpapers. Light soil to jacket panels; moderate foxing to jacket verso and chipping to spine ends.

New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1984. Fine in fine slipcase.. Signed limited first edition of Updike's sparkling departure from type, a tale of empowered coastal elites learning a little about the Devil and a lot about life.

A beautiful copy. 8'' x 5.5''. Original quarter oxblood cloth with decorative paper-covered boards. Red topstain. In original protective mylar jacket and original grey pictorial slipcase. 307, [2] pages. Edition of 350 specially bound copies; this copy no. 231. Signed by Updike on limitation page.
