Joseph Heller Bibliography

More Information

Joseph Heller, born 1923 and died 1999, was responsible for one of the best known American novels ever written, and also one of the most collectable modern first editions. His commentary in the anti-war book, based on his own military experiences, is simply a superb example of black-comedy. Even the books title gave us a new phrase, the meaning of which is now universally known. It was also the basis of a successful big screen adaptation. For collectors, once you have the first book the rest is relatively easy, there are issue points that you should be aware of and anything not first issue  drops hugely in value. There have also been several signed limited editions issued for several of the titles, some being contemporaneous others years after. American editions precede their English counterparts and are also of greater value, due largely to greater American interest in the writer. Overall an important and very collectable author.
