New York: A Seymour Lawrence Book / Delacorte Press,, 1969. All this happened, more or less First edition of the author's enduring science fiction, which infuses his experience of Dresen's fire-bombing within a time-slip narrative. "Amid the disenchantment surrounding the Vietnam War, this tale of the innocent but decidedly unheroic World War II GI, Billy Pilgrim, hit a nerve and soared to the top of the sales lists. Approaching fifty years of age, Vonnegut became a household name, a rumpled, cigarette-wielding prophet to the younger generation" (ANB). Octavo. Original blue cloth, spine lettered in gilt, red, and black, facsimile signature on front cover in gilt, black endpapers. With dust jacket, designed by Paul Bacon. Minor creases to extremities of jacket: a fine copy in like, unclipped jacket.
