Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.: Cat's Cradle
<B>Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.: <I>Cat's Cradle</B></I>.</B></I> (New York: Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1963), first edition, 233 pages, three-quarter lime green cloth and baby blue boards with blue and gilt lettering on the spine and front board, 8vo (5.75" x 8.5"), dust jacket (in protective Mylar). In 1963, Graham Greene called <I>Cat's Cradle</B></I> "one of the three best novels of the year by one of the most able living writers." Interestingly, this novel earned Vonnegut a Master's degree in Anthropology from the University of Chicago upon its release, a degree he was not able to earn while a student there just after returning from World War II. The copy presented here is in fine condition, with very minimal wear to the edges of the book and jacket. A real find for the Vonnegut enthusiast. <I>From the Ventura Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Books & Catalogs (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
