The Catcher in the Rye
BOMC edition with Salinger photo, 1951
The Catcher in the Rye (1951) in an early Book-of-the-Month Club edition with the 1951 date on the title page. This copy retains the full portrait photograph of Salinger by Lotte Jacobi on the rear panel of the dust jacket, which Salinger subsequently demanded be removed from all later editions.
Hardcover. Book-of-the-Month Club Edition. Octavo, black cloth, with gilt-stamped spine and deckled page edges. Folded BOMC pamphlet for the book with a "report" by Clifton Fadiman included. Boston: Little Brown, 1951. Burgess, Ninety-Nine Novels. #10373.
The book and its dust jacket are both stained. While there's some cockling to the interior pages, the inside remains mostly clean and unmarked. Overall, the copy presents as very good in dust jacket.
