New York: Simon & Schuster, 1961. First edition, first printing. Bound in publisher's original blue cloth with spine lettered in white, red topstain. Near Fine with slight toning to spine and top edges of boards, minor soiling to rear board and trivial rubbing to tips. In a Near Fine unclipped dust jacket with trivial creases, subtle fading to spine, several small faint stains, and small tape repair at crown on verso. A great copy of the author's best-known work, a satirical novel of the absurdity of war set in World War II.
