Description

A First UK printing published by Jonathan Cape, London in 1973. The BOOK is in near Fine condition and appears unread. Light pushing at the spine ends with some mild offsetting to the end papers. The boards and pages are exceptionally clean. Free from inscriptions and stamps. Some minor mild blemishes in places to the front text block. The black top stain remains vibrant. The WRAPPER is complete and is in VERY GOOD++ or better condition. Exceptionally bright colouring with no fading to the spine. A little edge wear at the spine ends with a small closed tear to the front upper edge. The Marc Getter wrapper artwork looks very striking in the removable Brodart archival cover. A lovely example of a scarce major Pynchon title which was the Winner of the 1973 National Book Award. Rare to find in such collectible condition. Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact.
