[Rarebooks] FS: Beautiful copy of the first edition of CATCH-22

[Charles Agvent]

HELLER, Joseph CATCH-22
Simon & Schuster New York 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
