Description

Hardcover, full decorative dark green leather. Brand new copy in factory shrink-wrap. A quality Easton Press production with all the refinements that go to make this a truly fine binding: bound in satin ribbon marker, all edges gilt, raised spine, 22kt gold stamping, smyth-sewn binding, silk moire end-papers, acid free archival paper and full genuine leather binding. First limited edition. Signed by author and limited to 1,700 copies with Certificate of Authenticity and Notes. Written in immediate post-war era, these 23 magazine articles give an impression of an America bursting with optimism and filled with promise. Not yet the satirist he would become, Vonnegut still manages to cast his tales of happy band leaders, technological advances available to the common man and materialism as disruptive forces challenging the societal status quo which one generation fought so hard to preserve while their progeny look to up-end social norms and change their stars. Brand new copy in pristine condition.
