VONNEGUT, Kurt. SLAUGHTERHOUSE-FIVE OR THE CHILDREN'S CRUSADE. A 
DUTY-DANCE WITH DEATH. New York: Delacorte Press, (1969). First Edition. 
In the first issue dustwrapper. Vonnegut’s masterpiece, a classic of 
time travel, metaphysics, and the immorality of war. Fine, tight copy in 
a beautiful dustwrapper with none of the tanning or darkening normally 
associated with this title. Other than a touch of very light wrinkling 
to the spine head and a brief 1/2" closed tear to the bottom of the 
front panel, the dustwrapper is as close to new as one could hope for. A 
gorgeous copy, and uncommon as such.
“It sounds like a fantastic last-ditch effort to make sense of a lunatic 
universe. But there is so much more to this book. It is very tough and 
very funny; it is sad and delightful; and it works.” —New York Times 
(#010637)        $2,500.00
