The 22,000-word novella, “Basic Training,” was rejected by the Saturday Evening Post in the late 1940’s, long before Mr. Vonnegut had become famous through works such as “Slaughterhouse-Five” and “Cat’s Cradle.” After Mr. Vonnegut died in 2007, a trove of his unpublished work remained in Indiana, where he was born. RosettaBooks chose the novella from hundreds of other works that Mr. Vonnegut’s literary executor had made available.” - Julie Bosman</p> <p>If you have an Amazon Kindle, you’re in luck, it’s available for only $1.99 as a Kindle Single.</p>http://humblecollective.com/post/19809054563http://humblecollective.com/post/19809054563Fri, 23 Mar 2012 21:02:33 -0400kurt vonnegutfictionliteraturenew york timesbasic training<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1axy3zCJc1qepky7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>via <a href="http://www.humblecollective.com">HumbleCollective</a>.</p>http://humblecollective.com/post/19742638198http://humblecollective.com/post/19742638198Thu, 22 Mar 2012 15:54:03 -0400bootsleatheroxfordsdesignshoesmenswear<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m19qehlCr21qepky7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><em>HumbleCollective at Favorite Records March 25, 2012</em></p> <p>There will be a vintage event in which one of us will be attending and showcasing some of the items we have for sale at our menswear space in <a href="http://www.mignonettebridal.com/">Mignonette</a> this Sunday from 11AM - 5PM at Favorite records in Noble Square.  <span class="text_exposed_show">So stop by, say hello, have a glass of wine, shop for records, etc.  Music will be provided by Toast & Jam.</span></p>http://humblecollective.com/post/19718953634http://humblecollective.com/post/19718953634Thu, 22 Mar 2012 00:28:00 -0400vintagechicagofavorite recordsnoble squaretoast and jamhumblecollective<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://assets.tumblr.com/swf/audio_player_black.swf?audio_file=http://www.tumblr.com/audio_file/19719516663/tumblr_m19r1y9F6o1qepky7&color=FFFFFF" height="27" width="207" quality="best" wmode="opaque"></embed><br/><br/><p>Jeans Wilder: In My Dreams.</p>http://humblecollective.com/post/19719516663http://humblecollective.com/post/19719516663Thu, 22 Mar 2012 00:27:34 -0400Jeans Wilder<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m17sfpBj6U1qepky7o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m17sfpBj6U1qepky7o2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><span class="sstextfett"><em>Bianchi Super Corsa Oro </em><br/></span><span>Italy, 1978</span></p> <p>“Professional super lightweight road bike from Bianchi with Columbus framework #8.8 716 finished with 24K gold plating.
