The Big Trip Up Yonder by Kurt Vonnegut, hand-bound in genuine leather by LeatheredLines. First published in Galaxy in 1954, this early Kurt Vonnegut story imagines a future in which a drug called anti-gerasone has stopped ageing. The result is a world crammed with people who never die, and the Schwartz family shares a tiny apartment with their 172-year-old patriarch, Gramps, who keeps rewriting his will. Sharp, funny and satirical, classic early Vonnegut.
About this leather-bound edition
Our binders work each cover by hand: genuine leather is fitted over firm boards, the spine is lettered in gold-tone foil and finished with traditional decorative detail. Every copy carries the small natural variations that come with real leather and handcraft.
The thickness and weight of the finished book depend on the length of this particular title. Longer works make a noticeably thicker volume, while shorter works are slimmer.
