How beautiful are these editions? I got this for Christmas and I‘m so excited!! These will look so beautiful on my shelf with the rest of my Salingers.

This is the Modern Library Books 1953 Edition of Salinger‘s Nine Stories - minimal wear for its age.
Am looking to start using some archival sleeves for my prized books - has anyone ever used Brodart covers before? I‘ve never really thought about using them before but I do have some antique first editions that could probably benefit from some more protection.

This is the Bantam Edition published in October 1964, 3rd printing of Salinger‘s Nine Stories.
Started cataloging my library recently, I have a decent collection of modern, vintage and rare books and have started picking up some really fantastic editions and printings at Estate Sales this summer. Will show y‘all as I keep cataloging.
pickA quick short novel. The author certainly knows how to tell a tale. The characters were somewhat amusing and entertaining. I read it in one afternoon. 4/5⭐️
pickFranny and Zooey, by J.D. Salinger (1961) - Re-Read
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Premise: A classic two-story collection about the existential struggles of the two youngest grown children in a famous family.
Review: Salinger excels as always in his incisive satire of social norms; here his portrayal of disaffected and cynical undergrad Franny is perfect. ⬇️
#DynamicDs #DoubleLetterTitle An all time favorite!

1. A reread but so good
2. I always prefer paper but I will dabble on ebooks and audio
3. According to my goodreads shelves I read a lot of middle grade fiction and fiction
pickBook two completed in my Salinger reread and once again I liked this better now than when I first read it. I understand the nuances of his stories better. As with all short story collections, some stories are better than others. My favorites are Teddy, A Perfect Day for Bananafish and Uncle Wiggily in Connecticut.
#hyggehourreadthon
Celebrated my sisters birthday last night with a family dinner but before hand I went to Baskin Robbins to pick up an ice cream cake. Of course I had to get a scoop of my favorite summer time flavor, baseball nut, and I took a few cool minutes to enjoy #hyggehourreadathon
pickI recently read a bibliomemoir where the author wrote an essay on Franny Glass which inspired me to reread all of Salinger‘s work for the first time since I read them as a young adult. Book one done. At first I was afraid because I didn‘t want my initial opinion to change but if possible, I love his work even more. The first half, Franny, is the better half but I still enjoyed Zooey even though he‘s a bit of a brat.
