Catch-22 Goes Digital

Joseph Heller’s epic military novel, Catch-22, is now an e-book. Simon & Schuster, the original publishers of the first edition of Catch-22 , confirmed today that the contract for a Catch-22 e-book is signed and complete. In fact, Simon & Schuster also plans on publishing a paperback and hardcover republication of the book for Catch-22’s 50th anniversary.

Catch-22, which is largely about the military and war times, was first published in 1961 and has sold over one million copies. The late Joseph Heller won’t be able to see his bestseller enter the digital world, but his work endures as a classic through changing media and eras.
