This book has the dedication page tipped in after copyright page and before the title page for "Raise High the Roofbeams." though copyright page says (1957, 1959) book actually came out in 1963.

If you cannot own a FE of "Catcher in the Rye", then this book will bring great cache to your shelf. "My last guest had evidently let himself out of the apartment. Only his empty glass, and his cigar end in the pewter ashtray, indicated that he had ever existed. I still rather think his cigar end should have been forwarded on to Seymour, the usual run of wedding gifts being what it is. Just the cigar in a small, ice box. Possibly with a blank sheet of paper enclosed, by way of explanation," (p 107].

Description:
New York: Bantam Books, 1966. Mass Market Paperback. Good. No Stock Photos! We photograph every item. 213 pages; spine edge taped, edge wear, soiling, small corner of front cover missing, some yellowing to pages; Two long short stories about Salinger's Glass family, previously published in The New Yorker. Both stories are about the life and tragic death of Seymour Glass, the eldest of the Glass children, and his siblings' reaction to it. The events are seen through the eyes of Seymour's brother Buddy, who is often said to be a portrait of Salinger himself. His rambling narrative is revealing of himself as well as of his brother, and explores the quest for enlightenment and wisdom that preoccupies both of them.
