First Edition
Softcover. Condition: Fine. Uncorrected Proof. Fine in wrappers. Laid in are two press releases from the publisher, discussing the controversy over Hamilton's first attempt to write Salinger's biography, *J.D. Salinger: A Writing Life*, and the lawsuit it engendered, causing him to re-write the book. Prior to publication of the book, the famously litigious Salinger sued to prevent publication of Hamilton's biography, challenging his right to publish quotations from his correspondence in the Firestone Library at Princeton University and elsewhere. On January 29, 1987, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit reversed an earlier judgment, and decided that Mr. Hamilton could not quote from the excerpts. Salinger was successful in stopping publication of the biography. Hamilton, in reaction to the decision, rewrote the biography, omitting the portions challenged by Salinger, and published the revised text under this title, *In Search of J. D. Salinger: A Writing Life*, published in 1988.
