HELLER,  Joseph. CATCH-22. New York: Simon & Schuster 1961.  First
Edition.  Author's uncommon and influential first book, basis for  the
popular  film  starring,  among  others, Martin  Sheen,  Bob  Newhart,
Anthony  Perkins, and Art Garfunkel. The white lettering on the  spine
is  still  sharp  and the blue of the cloth is just a  tad  faded.  An
owner's  name is on the upper right corner of the front free endpaper.
The  dustwrapper  has a miniscule closed tear at the top of the  front
panel  just touching the blue portion which retains a strong and  even
color,  as  does  the spine. Near Fine in a Fine  dustwrapper.  Lovely
copy.                                                         $4500.00
