How it works

Register

The uncommon first UK edition of Salinger's second book published earlier the same year in the US as 'Nine Stories' and hence the first edition thus. In the original blue cloth. A sliver of fading at the extremes of the spine, a gift inscription on the front free endpaper and a small bookseller's label at the bottom of the front pastedown, otherwise a very good clean copy. In a very good plus unclipped complete dustwrapper which has light edge wear with a couple of tiny edge tears or chips and a couple of small stains on the rear panel.
