A collectible early printing of Franny and Zooey, one of the most enduring works by American author J.D. Salinger.
Published by LBC in 1961, this is a first edition, stated seventh printing of Salinger’s classic work centered on the intellectual and spiritually searching Glass family.
The volume contains the two famous stories “Franny” and “Zooey,” originally appearing in The New Yorker before being collected into this landmark book. Together they form one of the most insightful explorations of postwar American identity and spirituality in twentieth-century fiction.
While not a first printing, early printings of Franny and Zooey remain desirable among collectors of Salinger and mid-century American literature, especially when accompanied by the original dust jacket.
