A Novel.
New York, Lippencott, 1963
A sharp and bright first edition of Thomas Pynchon's first novel, a macabre twentieth-century classic; uncommon in such condition.
First edition, first printing; 8vo; publisher's mauve cloth, titles to upper board in blind and to spine in silver, grey topstain, mustard endpapers, with the pictorial dust jacket; cloth just a little faded through the dust jacket as often, but a near-fine copy in the particularly fresh dust jacket with the typical fading of the yellow at the spine; a superior copy of the author's first book.
