Hardcover. Condición: Fair. No Jacket. 4 ½ in. x 6 ¼ in. Second issue. Pictorial front cover, dark blue rear panel. Both black and white and color illustrations. The paper over the hinges is torn, and there are chips to the paper over most of the margins. The paper has browned over the years. Some pages have stains, and a few have small tears. There is a fair-to-middling chip to the rear free end-paper. The covers appear to have been pasted to the endpapers. This book was probably carried by a soldier as he performed his duties and no doubt read in the quiet hours. Nº de ref. del artículo: ABE-1914386046

Hardcover. Condición: Near Fine. No Jacket. First Edition. Salinger's first book appearance, this being the first issue (1942), the state without the head and toe bands. Rubbing to covers; near fine in a near fine, lightly faded mailing box, (printed in red, black and orange rather than the later red, white and blue), which has a revised page count stamped over the original page count. The "2" in the copyright date, which in our experience is always battered, is more clearly visible in this copy than in most other copies of the first issue that we have seen. Unless otherwise noted, our first editions are first printings. Nº de ref. del artículo: 914680
