Jonathan Cape, London, 1967

First UK Edition (first printing), issued a year after the US edition. 8vo. 183pp. Purple cloth lettered in silver at the spine and with the publisher's black top edge stain.

THOMAS PYNCHON : The Crying of Lot 49. A novel

Jonathan Cape, London, 1967

First UK Edition (first printing), issued a year after the US edition. 8vo. 183pp. Purple cloth lettered in silver at the spine and with the publisher's black top edge stain. A little light spotting to the fore edge, free endpapers and pastedowns, and to very occasional leaf margins. Former owner name and date (1971) inked to the head of the front free endpaper. Very good indeed in good non-price-clipped dust wrapper, a little rubbed and discoloured at the upper and lower edges, with a single tiny fraction of triangular loss from the head of the spine panel, and some tarnishing to the wrapper flaps. A more than respectable copy of the author's elusive second book, this UK edition vanishing more uncommon than the US equivalent.. Book. Book Condition: Very Good. Binding: Hardcover. Jacket: Good
