Nine Stories
Review copy with publicity letter, 1953
Nine Stories (1953) is Salinger's second book, collecting ten stories most of which originally appeared in The New Yorker, including "A Perfect Day for Bananafish" and "For Esmé — with Love and Squalor." Review copy with the publisher's scarce advance publicity letter laid in.
Hardcover. First Edition, First Printing. Octavo, cloth binding, stamped in gilt on spine. Boston: Little Brown, 1953. #10374.
Slight rubbing to the spine's gilt and minor bumps to the corners, otherwise the book is near fine. The dust jacket is very good or better, exhibiting minor wear and nicks to extremities and a hint of fading along the spine. On the publicity letter, someone has doodled the math equation of 1953 minus 1919, obviously calculating Salinger's age at the time.
