Really excited to find this web-site showing all different covers of Catcher in the Rye, one of my favorite books. An old-school web-site, but a good visual collection, even including books from other countries.
There actually aren’t any spectacular covers for Catcher, even though it’s such a great book. I’m not sure why it hasn’t been redesigned recently? I do like the one shown here in the bottom left (look! he’s wearing the red hat and catching someone!), and I think the poorly-spaced, poorly-written quote on the signet book is funny (“This unusual book may shock you, will make you laugh, and may break your heart — but you will never forget it”).

i’ve seen this book so many times, but never bought it. Maybe i will now that i know it’s good. I have to admit i judge books by the cover lol :S
that’s so funny, i just finished reading The Catcher In The Rye in school! Did you know that they banded the book in a lot of schools? Weeeeeird. The think that we’re going to turn into Holden if we read the book or something.
Yes, they always try to ban the best books! In fact, that’s a good way to find something to read, go look at the banned book lists.
Want to find something interesting – go to the banned, prohibited etc books.
