When Catcher in the Rye was chosen as the main selection of the Book-of-the-Month Club in 1951, the president of the club expressed anxiety over the book's somewhat ambiguous title.  He asked the author, J. D. Salinger if he would consider a title change, Salinger simply replied, "Holden Caulfield wouldn't like that."
A first edition, signed, of Catcher in the Rye now sells in the vicinity of fifty-five thousand dollars.
