When we ask people about their favorite authors, John Irving is often affectionately mentioned. A critical darling and student of Vonnegut, Irving writes novels that are faithful to reality yet absurd enough to be unpredictable – one can never guess where he’ll take his characters or plots next.

We’ve collected three of his best books, beautiful clothbound editions published by Modern Library, and designed custom-printed jackets for them that feature a photograph of Phillips Exeter Academy, the prestigious New Hampshire boarding school that Irving attended, and the setting of several of his novels. This set is a must-have for Irving fans or any readers who want to experience the work of one of the most talented authors today.

 

Please allow a 4-6 week lead time, as your set will be made-to-order. Each Juniper Custom jacket is comparable to an individual art print. Our original designs are printed on high-quality paper and finished with a matte laminate on the outer side, making them tear-resistant, durable, and beautiful to handle.

For the rest of 2024, all Juniper Custom orders will also receive one complimentary archival storage box! We designed these boxes to look like a book, they are perfect for storing extra sets of book jackets, or anything else you'd like to keep safe!
