Description

• Thomas Pynchon’s famous first novel
• This UK edition differs [though not substantially] from the earlier US version as Pynchon wasn’t happy with the original & made several revisions, which were embedded in the slightly later UK printing. Curiously, the US reprints continued to use the erroneous first version.
• First UK Edition [Jonathan Cape, London, 1963]; 492, [4 blank] pages; black cloth, silver titling to spine, tape marks on endpapers, block base marked, an excellent copy; in the very good, price-clipped dustjacket, front flap creased, corners bumped, edges rubbed, front spine edge with laminate crack, surface scratches on rear
