Within the past year someone has released hardcover
editions of _Catcher_ and the _Nine Stories_ that have
pictures (or at least drawings) on their paper dust
jackets.  Foskett's site refers to an incident in Britain
where Salinger sued his British publishers for putting
a picture of Esme on the cover of their edition of
_Nine Stories_, and from then on (as we all know) JDS's
books have come in plain white-covered paperback form.
Did Salinger authorize these new hardbound editions?
Does he even know they exist?
