“The copies of The Catcher In The Rye or To Kill A Mockingbird that I own look like they were printed yesterday, and there's not a nick, not a blur, there's not any fading on the jacket at all, because they were taken and protected. A limited edition, by nature, is limited, and also probably more protected because of that. I'd rather have a first trade edition than a special one of 25 that was made years later, even if it's signed by the author. The trade edition is the Holy Grail.” IfsYearsFirstsLooksMadeTakenSpecialHolyTradeYesterdayCopiesProtectedJacketsPrintedFadingBlurCatchersHoly GrailMockingbirdKill A MockingbirdSpecial OneLimited Edition Author:John Larroquette
