First printing of the first book club edition of Still Life With Woodpecker by Tom Robbins (Bantam Books, 1980). Incredibly rare vintage copy of this acclaimed novel by the author of Even Cowgirls Get the Blues / Another Roadside Attraction and many others. Virtually indistinguishable from the true first edition save for the lack of price on front liner flap, isbn on back cover, and embossed “TR” on front board. The quality of the materials used and binding appear to be the same as the first trade edition.
Jacket now protected in removable archival sleeve but with some sun fading and spotty discoloration to spine, rubbing to faces and shelf wear around the edges - including chipping, creases and small tears. Boards are straight and clean save for small mark towards bottom edge of front board. All pages are clean and unmarked. See photos for condition. Packaged with care and shipped via USPS Media Mail
