\"knopf100\"<\/a>Updike’s longtime publisher, Alfred A. Knopf, celebrates 100 years of publishing in 2015, and according to their website,<\/p>\n

“Each week, we will tell you about the new books we are publishing in this anniversary year, as well as throw in a bit of nostalgia. We’ll remember books that were once upon a time published by Knopf in the particular month. We’ll share with you a bit of our personal history, i.e.: entertaining correspondence with authors, iconic dust jackets, remembrances by our editors and other members of the publishing team. We’ll dig up and share archival materials we think you’d like to see. In general, our Tumblr page<\/a> (#Knopf100) for 2015 will be a running exhibition of the history and the present of the publishing house that is Alfred A. Knopf. Enjoy the ride.”<\/p>\n

Among the “goodies” is a list of all their Pulitzer Prize winners<\/a> (Updike, of course, won twice\u2014for Rabbit Is Rich<\/em> and Rabbit at Rest<\/em>) and a downloadable literary calendar that you can access month by month. For January<\/a>, appropriately, they begin with John Updike. Below is a cropped version of that page, sans calendar, with a photo by Irving L. Fisk. All rights are reserved.<\/p>\n
