About This Item
New York: Pocket Books, 1963. 1st Edition . Mass Market Paperback. Very Good to Near Fine. Vintage Paperback: Pocket Books, Inc., Giant Cardinal Edition, GC-169. With a single novel -- "Catcher In The Rye," published in 1951 -- and a couple of short story collections, J.D. Salinger became, within a dozen years, a controversial writer and reclusive legend, the subject of praise and criticism, literary and social, that continues today more than five years after his death in 2010. This collection of essays by Salinger's contemporaries, including Mizener, Hicks, Updike, Didion, Feidler and Steiner, provides 21st century readers with a view of how Salinger and his writing appeared to other writers and to critics of his own time. First Printing, First Paperback Edition. Mass market paperback, about 4 1/4 x 6 3/8 inches, 316 pages, including index and introduction. Graphically designed wrappers with "Salinger" in white letters at top of back and front covers. Covers show minor surface and shelf wear consistent with a cared-for, 50-year-old paperback. No significant flaws, no tears, no chipping or creasing; binding remains tight and square. Text shows age-tanning in page margins and previous owner's name on fep. Book is clean and complete. First Printing, First Paperback Edition.
