CATCH 22 By Joseph Heller UK First Edition 1962
Arthur Vandyk Antiques are delighted to offer for sale this rare and historically important 1962 UK first edition (first impression) of Joseph Heller's classic anti war novel, Catch 22, published by Jonathan Cape and with its original revised cover with five authors’ reviews.
Brief synopsis:
Catch 22 follows the story of Captain John Yossairian who is somewhat reluctantly serving in World War 2 and is stationed on the island of Piansea. The novel follows Yossarian’s battle for survival and his ever ingenious ways to avoid fighting in the war. Heller examines the absurdity of military life and war employing a wonderfully dark comic narrative.
Condition report:
Book:
In very good condition, the red cloth hardcover and spine are in good order, a little wear to the top of the spine, the pages are yellowed with the occasional foxing spot, but still crisp, there is a period inscription in red ink dated June 1962.
Cover:
In fair condition, with heavy wear to the spine, and red marks, see photos.
This is your rare opportunity to own this scarce and seldom seen first UK edition version of the canonical great American novel, Catch 22. This twentieth century classic is one of the most famous books of the twentieth century and where the phrase 'Catch 22' came from. Indeed, it was named 22 after the amount of times the novel was rejected by potential publishers.
