recent JDS bibliography

Has anyone happened upon this recent book?

Author: Weaver, Brett E.
Title: An annotated bibliography, 1982-2002, of J.D. Salinger / Brett E.
Weaver.
Physical Description: iii, 108 p. ; 24 cm.
Publisher/ Date: Lewiston, N.Y. : E. Mellen Press, c2002.
LC Subjects: Salinger, J. D. (Jerome David), 1919- --Bibliography.

I located it on Amazon as a special order, but the price is (choke,
choke) $89.95, for a book that is only 108 pages! (Brett Weaver, if you
are a secret subscriber, please know that it's nothing personal, but I
just can't afford this.)

Luckily, I just checked the library catalog for the library I can use
through work, and they have a copy, although it's cataloged in the
Reference department, so I can't check it out and study it for any length
of time.

One screwy thing is the time period: 1982 to 2002? I would guess, then,
that I'm not going to find any hidden Salinger treasures cited; likely it
is focused on research (books and papers).

If anyone is interested, I'll report on what I find. But somehow I doubt
it will be as riveting as Michael Anello's JDS manuscript catalog from
several weeks ago....

By the way, I was looking through the most recent JDS bibliography prior
to this Weaver one, and saw quite a few story titles that were in
Michael's list. What makes it interesting from the perspective of dating
the missing stories is that there are cross-references to Salinger's
letters in which he mentions titles (or his correspondents mention them),
so it helps pin down windows during which the various stories could have
been written.

It's beyond my power to type anything substantial about all that right
now -- a big old headache has me in its grip -- but I will see what I can
do in the future.

And we'll see what this new Weaver bibliography is all about.
