Dell first edition paperback, 1971, if you know your authors you will have guessed it some time ago,

First Edition cover, Delacorte, 1969, the book is Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five, or The Children’s Crusade: A Duty-Dance with Death, the book turns 50 this week, originally published on March 31, 1969, it has been translated into different languages and with that, its book covers have also been illustrated differently, Emily Temple of Lithub collates 50 different book covers of Slaughterhouse-Five from around the world, I have featured a few here, some are weird to say the least, especially when you think they all have the same book inside the jacket!
