Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger. Little Brown 1951 first edition first printing. 277 pages. New facsimile dust jacket.

Condition of the book is Very Good Minus. The binding is sound, with a slight slant. Inside pages are complete, clean and bright, and unmarked.

Condition issues include (see photos):
• the aforementioned spine slant, which is also noticeable in uneven-ness to the fore edge of the text block
• fading to the title lettering on the spine
• three small drip stains on the spine
• staining to the front and back endpapers, mostly to the gutter area. This appears to be bleed-through of the original glue that attached the endpapers to the boards. Inside pages are not affected.

The facsimile dust jacket is New. It is protected in a new mylar cover.

The book will be shipped USPS priority mail, in a box. Please inquire about overseas shipping options/rates.

New York, Grove Press, 2022, trade paperback, 272 pp, Advance Uncorrected Proof (ARC), New. Straight, tight and clean with no wear or markings in bright, pictorial card covers, no dustjacket as issued. The pieces in this collection, written between 1956 and 1961 and including short fiction, a radio play, and a stunning early novel, offer startling insights into Cohens imagination and creative process. Cohen explores themes that would permeate his later work, from shame and unworthiness to sexual desire in all its sacred and profane dimensions to longing, whether for love, family, freedom, or transcendence.
