Add to basketSoftcover. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. First Edition. The uncorrected proof copy of the first American edition of this novel about "dicing" or "dice living" (living life according to the roll of the die). Rhinehart is Cockcroft's pen name, and also the name of the main character in the book, leading to ambiguity as to wheth…er it was fiction or not when it was first published. Such ambiguity did not help its early sales, but over time the book has become a cult classic, selling over two million copies and positing the idea that substituting a throw of the dice for the normal criteria for decision-making contains a germ of wisdom about living life. Creasing to the faded spine from binder's glue; corner crease rear cover; near fine in wrappers. An uncommon proof. Unless otherwise noted, our first editions are first printings.

Add to basketFirst edition, first printing. COCKCROFT'S TRANSGRESSIVE LANDMARK Published in 1971 under the pseudonym Luke Rhinehart, The Dice Man is George Cockcroft's audacious fusion of satire, philosophy, and psychological provocation. This cult classic follows psychiatrist Luke Rhinehart as he cedes every life choice to the throw of a di…ean experiment in pure chance that dismantles identity, upends morality, and scandalized early readers. Banned in several countries yet embraced by countercultural circles, it became a touchstone of transgressive literature and a forerunner of postmodern identity play. Fine in fine dust jacket, with a few short diagonal creases front flap, in mylar cover. Publisher's quarter white cloth, in by Lawrence Ratzkin dust jacket ($6.95).

Edition: First US EditionCondition remarks:Book: Good Jacket: Very goodPages: Good Markings: Previous ownerCondition remarks: Light foxing on side of block (barely visible), Previous owner name on FEP, plastic wrap protecting dust jacket that is in good conditionLuke Rhine…hart is a disillusioned psychiatrist who begins to decide every choice-big and small-by the roll of a die. What starts as a private experiment in surrender and spontaneity becomes a radical, often darkly comic dismantling of identity, morality, and social convention. Its 1971 William Morrow edition captured the era's countercultural appetite for rebellion and risk, helping the novel achieve cult status-readers embraced its provocative premise, memorable voice, and the shock value that made it a touchstone for debates about freedom, responsibility, and the nature of self. Hardback.

Add to basketFirst edition of this cult classic. Octavo, original cloth. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the title page, "For Andy 'A lake is a pond is a river.' Luke Rhinehart." Fine in a near fine dust jacket with a touch of rubbing. Jacket design by Lawrence Ratzkin. The Dice Man is a novel published in 1971 by George Cockcr…oft under the pen name Luke Rhinehart and tells the story of a psychiatrist who begins making life decisions based on the casting of dice. Cockcroft wrote the book based on his own experiences of using dice to make decisions while studying psychology. The novel is noted for its subversion, anti-psychiatry sentiments and for reflecting moods of the early 1970s. Due to its subversive nature and chapters concerned with controversial issues such as rape, murder and sexual experimentation, it was banned in several countries. Upon its initial publication, the cover bore the confident subheader, "Few novels can change your life. This one will" and quickly became a modern cult classic. The book went through a number of republishings; in the United States it acquired the even more confident subheader "This book will change your life", in spite of its being a highly edited version of the original. In 1995, the BBC called it "one of the fifty most influential books of the last half of the twentieth century," and in 1999 Loaded magazine named it "Novel of the Century". In 2013, the Telegraph listed it as one of the 50 great cult books of the last hundred years. It has enjoyed a 21st-century renaissance, being published or republished in more than 60 countries and translated into 26 languages.
