First edition, first printing. Signed by Kurt Vonnegut on the front free endpaper and inscribed to a former owner. Bound in publisher's gray cloth spine lettered in black and multi-color with abstract marbled boards; lacking the dust jacket. Very Good with lean to binding, fading, rubbing and stray mark to spine. Wear to corners with toning and foxing to boards and edges. Musty odor to contents. Vonnegut's fifth postmodern satirical novel that preceded and gave context to Slaughter House Five.
