With provisional publication date of October 21st 1965 stated on the back wrapper flap. ***Kurt Vonnegut's fifth novel, published four years before "Slaughterhouse Five". ***Very good in red Jonathan Cape logo printed red card covers, with publisher's original typed blurb on a white paper label pasted to the front cover, dated the month of October. The covers are clean and bright. No tears or serious creasing - just light reading creases to the spine. Spine tight. Internally also very good, but please note that there is a biro scribble on the front free endpaper - which could in fact be a wild version of Kurt Vonnegut's signature? (please see scans). All other pages clean. No creases or tears. ***In a good example of the variant trial mauve and pink illustrated outsize dustwrapper, with the original publisher's printed price of 21s net. Dustwrapper rubbed and creased, with a small blue biro light scribble over titles to the front panel. Small scuffs to the front panel.

His eccentricity is that he give money away without even requiring them to feel grateful. In a drab room in a small Indiana town he operates a one-man benevolent aid society. He helps people. It makes him happy. ***It also makes him, by most standards, crazy. To prove that he actually is crazy (and thereby divert the vast Rosewater inheritance to a more tractable distant cousin) is the aim of Mushari, a lawyer. ***The plot moves over the whole spectrum of American life, sparing nothing and no one, except Eliot Rosewater himself and a science fiction writer named Trout.' (Quote taken from the typed publisher's blurb label pasted to the front cover, and inside front and back flaps) ***"One of the best living American writers" - Graham Greene (Review quote taken from the back panel of the trial dustwrapper). ***A very rare proof copy of the first UK edition - complete with the scarce variant proof illustrated dustwrapper. This trial dustwrapper is rare. The novel was published while Kurt Vonnegut was teaching at the University of Iowa in the mid 1960's, and helped to affirm his growing reputation as a mainstream writer. 'Eliot Rosewater is a man whose compassion and generosity cause his wealthy relatives to consider him crazy'. Of interest to collectors of Kurt Vonnegut, literary first editions and first edition proof copies. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
