SALINGER, J. D.

The Catcher in the Rye

Boston: Little, Brown & Co., 1951. First Edition, First Printing. Hardcover. Octavo. 5.25 x 8 in. 277 pp. Very good in original black cloth boards, with a firm binding that has a barely-visible lean and a small scratch located on the spine, just across the bottom of the publisher's name. The pages are bright, clean, and free of foxing or other marks. Very good. Item #3738

Stated "FIRST EDITION" copy with no further mention of printing dates on the copyright page. The back board is clean and lacks the blind-stamp typical of the book club editions and later printings. A beautiful copy kept in great condition, even without a dust jacket.
