Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. First hardcover edition. The first hardcover edition of Vonnegut's second novel, a satire set in outer space. According to the Ahearns' Author Price Guide, the print run was 2500 copies. This book was first published as a paperback original in 1959. "In this seco…nd novel, Vonnegut put a reverse-English spin on some standard gambits of SF, such as time and space travel, and this is less a straight SF novel than a jazz variation on/takeoff from the genre, anticipating the work of Douglas Adams. The journeyings here aren't jaunty pulp adventures but are darkly disturbing."?Barron, Anatomy of Wonder. The book has an odd shape, narrower than a hardcover typically is, because it uses the typesetting from the massmarket paperback, adding space mostly to the top and bottom margins. 5-1/8 by 8-1/4 inches. 319, [1:blank] pages. First hardcover (stated first printing). A very good or better copy in blue cloth in a price-clipped jacket with a two-inch tear at the top of the front panel and chipping to the spine ends, strengthened on the back (verso) with tape. The white spine lettering is tanned. The jacket notes "previously published." on the front flap; the Ahearns report copies without this statement (priority unknown). This copy is signed by Vonnegut on the front free endpaper. Rather uncommon signed. Housed in a clamshell box of the style commissioned for Vonnegut books by his silkscreen printer, Joe Petro III. From the collection of Tom Garner.

Contact seller5-star sellerFirst hardcover edition of the author's second novel and what many consider his finest. Octavo, original cloth. Inscribed by Kurt Vonnegut on the half-title page. Fine in a near fine dust jacket with very light shelfwear. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. A very nice example, uncommon signed. The Sirens of Titan is…the Hugo Award-nominated story of billionaire Malachi Constant, who persists against a Martian-invasion to be reunited with his estranged family. According to The Harvard Crimson, Vonnegut "put together the whole of The Sirens of Titanin one night He was at a party where someone told him he ought to write another novel. So they went into the next room where he just verbally pieced together this book from the things that were around in his mind.".

Add to basketCondition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First British Edition. First British edition, first printing. Signed by Kurt Vonnegut on the front free endpaper. 319 pp. Bound in publisher's red paper-covered boards lettered in gilt on spine. Near Fine in a Near Fine unclipped dust jacket with light toning to spine panel… and extremities. Housed in a custom clamshell case, black cloth lined in marbled paper, morocco title label to spine, with unobtrusive scuff to rear panel. A stunning signed copy of Vonnegut's second novel, a finalist for the 1960 Hugo Award (it lost to Robert Heinlein's Starship Troopers). The "brilliant and bitter" novel, first published in the United States as paperback, received several rave reviews but languished under its status as a pulp novel. Vonnegut's satire eventually caught on and won the admiration of the British science fiction writer Douglas Adams, who said in a 1979 interview: "I've read The Sirens of Titan six times now, and it gets better every time. He is an influence, I must own up. Sirens of Titan is just one of those books - you read it through the first time and you think it's very loosely, casually written. You think the fact that everything suddenly makes such good sense at the end is almost accidental. And then you read it a few more times, simultaneously finding out more about writing yourself, and you realise what an absolute tour de force it was, making something as beautifully honed as that appear so casual.". Signed.

Add to basketCondition: Near Fine. First Edition. First edition, first printing, preceding the hardcover edition. Signed by Kurt Vonnegut on the first page. 319 pp. Bound in publisher's wraps illustrated by Richard Powers, all edges stained green. Near Fine with very light edgewear, minimal creasing to spine, and moderate toning to contents;… binding firm. Housed in a custom clamshell case, black cloth lined in marbled paper, morocco title label to spine. Uncommon in such good condition, even more so signed. Vonnegut's satirical jaunt through space won several rave reviews but was relegated to the status of pulp fiction. After Slaughterhouse-Five launched its author to stardom in 1969, his earlier works were reassessed and reprinted. Writing in The Nation in 2012, the critic William Deresiewics praised Sirens of Titan for its deft balance of irony, tragedy, and wonder: "In this, his second novel and his second-greatest, he achieves a sublimity he would never attempt again.". Signed.
