Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.
The Sirens of Titan
1961: Boston MA, Houghton and Mifflin, 1st Edition Thus, 8vo,  Fine/ Very Good+

First hardbound edition of his second novel: a very small print run. 
1961[1959] Often classified as science fiction since it takes place in 
space, it's closer to a satire on the human condition.  In a new, mylar cover.

DJ has very thin line of shelfwear across tail edge of front cover and 
light rub to corner. Tiny rub to both corners of spine head and one corner 
at spine tail. 1/4" closed tear to front cover at head of spine, ends in 
1/16" white flake to surface. Faintest soil to the ivory-colored back 
cover. Inside flaps toning at head and tail edges, small smudge to inside 
surface of rear flap.

No defects to book, no shelfwear, no nothin': as bright, crisp, and tight 
as new. VG+ DJ looks great. Scarce in any condition. $2100 USD
