Refurbished ex-library copy in very good condition.   

Dust jacket is beautifully preserved; small hint of sticker residue on front panel w/ orig. jacket price of $4.00 still in tact.  Looks great in a new HQ brodart jacket protector.

Book itself reads perfectly w/ flaws.  Cloth on boards show remainder marks.  Library stamp to title page and top of text block.  Otherwise, clean, tight and reads beautifully. 

The last book-length work of fiction by J. D. Salinger published in his lifetime collects two novellas about "one of the liveliest, funniest, most fully realized families in all fiction"

These two novellas, set seventeen years apart, are both concerned with Seymour Glass--the eldest son of J. D. Salinger's fictional Glass family--as recalled by his closest brother, Buddy.
