Rora Franny and Zooey correct date is 1961

Franny was published in 1955 and Zooey in 1957. The two published together is 1961.

Rora In Cold Blood correct date is 1966.

I'll see if I can find the record.

Rora They were published seperately to begin with, but the two published together is 1961.

Sandra | 31494 comments I can't find Rivka's posting on this topic, but I've referred it to a few senior & super librarians.

Sandra | 31494 comments Thanks Arenda, I'll keep a copy of them for future use :)

Sandra | 31494 comments So the original publication date for Franny and Zooey is 1957, because that is the last/latest book published separately.

And in fact Rivka (Librarian Moderator at the time) left a librarian note on the default edition:

"librarian note for this book (last edited by rivka at Feb 29, 2016 10:43PM)

The two stories were published separately in 1955 and 1957, so we use the latter as the work's original publication date. "

And done.

May take a little while to show correctly, due to caching.
