A Separate Peace
New York: Macmillan, 1960.
Sold
Hardcover. First American edition. Fine in fine, second issue dustwrapper (the first issue was suppressed, apparently when the publisher felt the first issue jacket made the title look too much like a children’s book). A very nice copy of the author’s first book, a classic coming-of-age novel.
