A book billed as the sequel to JD Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye has been banned from release in the US, according to reports.

Swedish author Fredrik Colting reached a settlement with Salinger's estate to end a lengthy copyright dispute over the book, Publishers Weekly said.

As part of the deal, the book cannot be published in the US or Canada. But it can be sold in other countries.

Colting must also stop calling his work 60 Years Later: Coming Through the Rye.

Prior to his death one year ago, Salinger had taken legal action against Colting, who wrote his work under the pseudonym John David California.

According to the late author's lawyers, the book - published in the UK in June 2009 - was "a rip-off, pure and simple".

Quit biting. I said that first when someone made a thread asking if we had read the original :24:

I don't really care about the ban. I think a person not originally associated with the book shouldnt be doing a "sequal" same goes with movies
