About This Item

Jonathan Cape. 1970. First edition. DW. Jonathan Cape. Presentation copy from Vonnegut to Philip Oakes who reviewed his books for The Sunday Times and became a friend. On the front free endpaper, "FOR PHILIP OAKES - Kurt Vonnegut Jr. MARCH 19, 1970". The author did not let the ink dry long enough and some of the "Kurt" has offset on to the front pastedown! Loosely inserted is an envelope with a typed address to Mrr. [sic] Philip Oakes, THE SUNDAY TIMES... with a typed return address Vonnegut W. Barnstable, Mass. USA. With the word "AIRMAIL" and a long underline across in the author's own hand. The envelope contains a very friendly letter, on one side typed and signed by Vonnegut on his own headed writing paper. It thanks Philip for his helpful review. It also includes some very sarcastic remarks about Nixon and one of the local peace demonstrations to the end. There is very slight shelfwear along the lower edge of the boards, slight foxing to endpapers and edges o/w a clean and sound copy in a wrapper that has two close tears and creases along bottom edge of front cover and sl. signs of shelf wear to other extremities.
