Player Piano

First Edition/First Printing with the Scribner's seal and the "A" on the copyright page; A Near Fine book in a Very Good or better dust jacket. An outstanding copy of Vonnegut's first book, having gone on to write "Slaughterhouse Five" among others and receiving multiple awards and nominations throughout his brilliant career; a true icon of 20th century literature. This copy is in near fine condition with a square tight binding, bright silver lettering over green boards, and clean o/w to white pages throughout; the book does show some mild soiling to the top exterior text block and light rubbing to the spine ends and edges. Housed in a crisp and bright very good dust jacket that does show moderate rubbing and chipping to the spine ends, edges, and corners with one short closed tear to the top of the front flap, a couple of small dampstains to the top of the back panel, a partial faint ring stain to the front panel, and a few tiny ink marks to the spine and back panel. Overall, a highly presentable and collectible example of a rare book in the first state, scarce in this condition. Not price clipped ($3.00 intact), not ex-library; protected in a Mylar cover and will ship carefully packed in a sturdy box.
