    One edition only, apparently
  • WorldCat reports only the one, 1981 mass-market paperback edition.
  • Not found 2018-12-05 in automated search ("planet in arms") of 1980 to 1989 newspapers.

    The only hits (2) for that title are footnotes to articles by Donald Barr in The New York Times Book Review, 1984-06-17 pBR12 and 1986-05-04 pBR1, which identify him as headmaster of the Hackley School (as in Westchester and in Tarrytown NY). The latter, "Should Holden Caulfield Read These Books" is a long essay on "the four great adolescent classics of the last generation or two: The Catcher in the Rye, Lord of the Flies, To Kill a Mockingbird, and A Separate Peace." The other covers four novels by Father {{a|Andrew M. Greeley}}, all featuring the Roman Catholic Church or its priesthood, all non-genre probably.
