Happy 50th Anniversary to Gravity's Rainbow [Thomas Pynchon]
https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/...vitys-rainbow/
I remember buying this when it came out in 1973. The only edition I could find was the trade paper edition. (The bookstore, to my knowledge, never had the hardback.) Years later, I found a hardback 2nd edition without the D/J. |

An ebook doesn't need a cover to keep the pages intact. Decorative covers have not always been used.
![]() Penguin's cover. |

I like all three of those covers. When I used to work at B&N they had a Gravity's Rainbow poster with the bomb diagram.
Here's my favorite cover: |

The one I posted was the original cover on the U.S. hardback and trade paper. |

HEY! If anyone lives in mythic splendor, you might want to pick up this presentation copy signed by Pynchon. [See attachment.]
Unfortunately, I live in a "van down by the river", so it's beyond my reach. [See link.] https://www.google.com.pe/search?q=s...id:Xv2VIEY9-A8 This is your chance to own one of the most important postmodern works ever written. |
