Bagombo Snuff Box

Putnam 1999

Subtitled “Uncollected Short Fiction.” Near Fine unread book with
crimping at the spine ends, in a Near Fine jacket with touch of
soiling on spine and very slight edge wear. A very nice copy that
has been signed by Vonnegut on the front end page (flyleaf). Copies
of this title signed directly by Vonnegut appear to be much more
scarce than are the publisher’s limited or the Easton Press limited
edition.

Cockfighter
|
Crown 1972 |
First edition 1st printing NF/NF. The unread book has a slight bump
to top corner front board, a minute brown spot on front board and
mild edge wear. The gray dust jacket exhibits slight edge and corner
wear and some rubbing bottom of spine. This is actually a very nice
and bright copy for this extremely fragile production.
