VONNEGUT JR., Kurt. Breakfast of Champions. London: Jonathan Cape. 1973. 8vo. First British edition. Publisher’s brown cloth lettered in gilt to the spine, in the dust jacket designed by Grahame Berney. A very good copy. The cloth boards clean and bright, corners a trifle bumped. The binding tight and square, the textblock with stain to top edge and some spots to the textblock edges. The contents with patchy toning to endpapers and prelims, then largely fine throughout with stamps or inscriptions. The dust jacket unclipped (£2.25 net) and complete, a trifle crimped only.
Probably this cataloguer’s favourite of Vonnegut’s novels, his seventh, which like much of his work is instantly readable, darkly funny, and invariably sharp. It is punctuated with many comedic illustrations by the author.
