The Crying of Lot 49 by Thomas Pynchon - 1966

Stated First Edition; A very good book in a very good or better dust jacket. An excellent copy of this novel being the author's 2nd published novel; author went on to win the National Book Award for "Gravity's Rainbow". This copy is in very good condition with a square, tight binding, bright lettering over yellow and grey boards, and clean pages throughout; the book does show mild rubbing and sunning to the top board edges, some light foxing to the page edges, and a small crease to the top of page 99; housed in a crisp and bright very good or better dust jacket that shows only light rubbing and chipping to the spine ends and edges, mild foxing and faint soiling to the panels and flaps, and a small closed tear to the foot of the back flap fold, else near fine or better. Overall, a highly presentable and collectible copy of this book, getting uncommon in this condition. Not remaindered, not price clipped ($3.95 intact) and not ex-library; in a fresh Mylar cover and will ship in a sturdy box.
