About This Item
Stated First Edition with no mention of subsequent printings (First Printing); A Very Good or better book in a Near Fine dust jacket. SIGNED by Larry McMurtry to the front free paper, with an early legible signature and dated 1969; McMurtry's personal bookplate is affixed to the front pastedown. A unique copy of this novel by the author of "The Catcher in the Rye"; uncommon to find McMurtry's bookplate, rare indeed to find his early signature from his personal library. This copy is in very good or better condition showing only some mild sunning to the spine and light rubbing to the board edges; housed in a crisp and bright near fine jacket that shows light rubbing to the edges, faint soiling to the spine and back panel, and a general hint of age-toning. Overall, a highly collectible and unique item; a welcome addition to any 20th Century Lit or Modern First Edition collection. Not remaindered, not price clipped, not ex-library; in a protective Mylar sleeve and will ship carefully wrapped in a sturdy box.
Synopsis
Franny and Zooey is J. D. Salinger's third book, published as such in 1961, its two parts having originally appeared as a short story and a novella in The New Yorker in 1955 and 1957, respectively. Franny and Zooey, a sister and brother both in their 20s, are the two youngest members of the Glass family, which was a frequent focus of Salinger's writings. The action of both parts takes place over a long weekend in November 1955.
