Slaughterhouse-Five
Kurt Vonnegut · Delacorte Press / Seymour Lawrence (New York) · 1969
US Delacorte 1969 is the true first; the UK Cape edition follows in 1970. Signed first printings are sought after, but because Vonnegut signed fairly freely a signature alone is not scarce, so confirming first-printing state and the first-issue jacket points matters most.
