1943125198Chicago: Consolidated Book Publishers Inc. 1943. First edition second issue of this classic World War II-era short story collection containing J.D. Salinger's third published short story and first appearance in book form. 12mo original illustrated boards illustrated. Complied by R.M. Barrows edited by E. X. Pastor and with contributions from J.D. Salinger Richard Armour Hurd Barrett Pat Frank O. Henry Rudyard Kipling Jack Leonard and Damon Runyan among others. In very good condition. Best-known for his novel The Catcher in the Rye American author J.D. Salinger published several short stories and five books throughout his lifetime. In a contributor's note Salinger gave to Harper's Magazine in 1946 he wrote: "I almost always write about very young people" a statement that has been referred to as his credo. Adolescents are featured or appear in all of Salinger's work from his first published short story "The Young Folks" 1940 to The Catcher in the Rye and his Glass family stories. In 1961 the critic Alfred Kazin explained that Salinger's choice of teenagers as a subject matter was one reason for his appeal to young readers but another was "a consciousness among youths that he speaks for them and virtually to them in a language that is peculiarly honest and their own with a vision of things that capture their most secret judgments of the world." For this reason Norman Mailer once remarked that Salinger was "the greatest mind ever to stay in prep school." Consolidated Book Publishers, Inc. hardcover books
1943123104Chicago: Consolidated Book Publishers Inc. 1943. First edition second issue of this classic World War II-era short story collection containing J.D.

Pastor and with contributions from J.D. Salinger Richard Armour Hurd Barrett Pat Frank O. Henry Rudyard Kipling Jack Leonard and Damon Runyan among others. Signed by J.D.

A commercial tale of a soldier who just can't seem to get "the hang of it" the story was first published in the July 12 1941 issue of Collier's magazine and subsequently in the 1942 and 1943 editions of The Kit Book For Soldiers marking Salinger's first appearance in book form. Salinger was drafted into the army in the spring of 1942 several months after the United States entered World War II where he saw combat with the 12th Infantry Regiment 4th Infantry Division. He was present at Utah Beach on D-Day in the Battle of the Bulge and the Battle of Hurtgen Forest. During the campaign from Normandy into Germany Salinger arranged to meet with Ernest Hemingway who was then working as a war correspondent in Paris. The meeting had a profound effect on Salinger and the development of his writing style; Hemingway was impressed by what Salinger shared with him of his early writing and the two corresponded frequently throughout the war. Salinger was later assigned to the 4th Counter Intelligence Corps in which he used his proficiency in French and German to interrogate prisoners of war and later witnessed the liberation of one of the Dachau Concentration Camps.

1942WRCLIT77652Garden City: Doubleday Doran & Co. 1942. Cloth backed marbled boards t.e.g. Endsheets discolored from the binding glue utilized a few foxmarks at fore-edge else near fine. Second separate American printing following the 1934 U.S. copyright printing and the text's inclusion in the Sussex edition and the Burwash edition. This is one of only ten copies privately printed on handmade paper for presentation by the publisher. Kipling's text is preceded by a prefatory letter "My dear Mr. President:" outlining the background of the text by Alexander Woolcott signed in type noting "Nelson Doubleday has now put it into type for one of the many idle hours which must hang heavy on your hands these days." If the dedication to "Mr. President" suggests that this highly limited edition was undertaken in part for presentation to FDR the notion of FDR having "many idle hours" must be described as ironic. While not the first appearance of the text in book form it is much less common than the copyright printing 75 copies and as a production of Kipling's authorized U.S. publisher it must enjoy some bibliographic merit. Not in Stewart. From the Nelson Doubleday collection sale. RICHARDS A419n. Doubleday, Doran & Co. hardcover books
