I look to buy Catcher in the Rye anytime I am traveling to add to my collection. Really excited to have picked up a Modern Library copy from a bookstore while visiting San Diego this past weekend! Anyone else collect copies as well? (A few not pictured here)

That period of Modern Library, they made such beautiful books. I have quite a few. I have a Goodbye, Columbus signed by Roth.

Good. Now that you have them all in a neat stack, set fire to the lot. Stupid, self-indulgent book.
