J.D. Salinger Signed “The Catcher in the Rye”
Scarce signed copy of J.D. Salinger’s “The Catcher in the Rye” with extraordinary provenance. New York: Bantam Books. Later paperback edition. Measures 4″ x 6.75″. Signed to front free endpaper “To Ruth Rogers, / in friendship / J.D. Salinger / Daytona Beach / March 1973.” Dr. Ruth Rogers was a homeopathic physician in active practice in Daytona Beach, Florida when she was visited by Salinger and his young girlfriend, Joyce Maynard in March 1973. It is believed that the notoriously reclusive Salinger signed Dr. Roger’s personal copy of “Catcher” on this visit. In her 1998 memoir, “At Home in the World” Joyce Maynard discusses her relationship with Salinger and dedicates an entire chapter to their trip to Daytona Beach and this doctor’s visit, which coincidentally took place on the day Salinger ended their relationship and sent Maynard home to clear her things out of his house. Excerpt: “…Jerry…told this doctor…that he is a student of homeopathy…I wait for Jerry to begin describing the particular reason why we are here…’My friend here, Joyce, is anxious to consult you about a problem she’s experiencing that I have been trying to assist her with’…when we get back to the hotel…Jerry…rests his forehead in his hand…I’m finished with this…You’d better go home now…You need to clear your things out of my house’…” Lot accompanied by copy of “At Home in the World” and recent email correspondence with Maynard regarding the visit during which this book was signed. “Catcher” copy shows only minor toning and wear and is in overall excellent condition. A rare gem and must-have for Salinger enthusiasts. Sold for $5,372.
