Slaughterhouse-Five

(New York): Delacorte Press, (1969).

Sold

Hardcover. First edition. Fine in a modestly spine-toned, else crisp and near fine dustwrapper. Boldly Inscribed by the author on the half-title. A very nice copy of the author's best-known title. A splendid blend of history, humor, and fantasy in the story of optometrist Billy Pilgrim, survivor of the firebombing of Dresden, unstuck in time and living an alternate life on the planet Tralfamadore. Basis for George Roy Hill's 1972 film that managed to make a good movie out of a virtually unfilmable novel.
