Softcover. Condition: Fine. First editions (but one, see below). Thirteen pamphlets. Stapled wrappers. All are fine or very nearly so. This represents the complete "C" Section: "Unauthorized Editions" of Clifford Mead's bibliography, *Thomas Pynchon: A Bibliography of Primary and Secondary Materials*, along with two variant issu…es not described therein. These copies are from the library of Pynchon's editor, Ray Roberts, with his book label on the inside cover of each volume. Roberts was an influential editor with Viking, Henry Holt, and then Little, Brown, and he worked closely with John Fowles, Martha Grimes, Thomas Pynchon, and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. He began editing Pynchon when the latter went to Little, Brown, starting with his book *Slow Learner*. The archive contains: 1. *Mead* C1a1: *Mortality and Mercy in Vienna*. Cover color is red only, with printer's registration crosses above the letter "P" in Pynchon and to the right of the man's hip on the front wrap. 2. *Mead* C1a2: *Mortality and Mercy in Vienna*. Cover color is brown, with printer's larger green registration cross almost congruent over the red cross, and the cross to the right of the man's hip on the front wrap is missing. 3. *Mead* C1a3: *Mortality and Mercy in Vienna*. Cover color slightly more reddish with both printer's registration crosses present and the green cross higher than the red cross, and the intersection of green lines to the left of the intersection of the red lines. 4. *Mead* C1a4: *Mortality and Mercy in Vienna*. As in C1a3, but the vertical lines of the crosses are congruent and the intersection of the green lines is to the left of the intersection of the red lines. 5. Unrecorded in *Mead*: *Mortality and Mercy in Vienna*. As in C1a2 but a noticeably darker brown. 6. *Mead* C1b: *Mortality and Mercy in Vienna*. Second printing. 7. *Mead* C2: *Low-Lands*. 8. *Mead* C3: *The Secret Integration*. 9. *Mead* C4a: *Entropy*. Green wrappers with black stamping. 10. *Mead* C4b: *Entropy*. Second printing in photographic montage wrappers. 11. *Mead* C5: *The Small Rain*. 12. *Mead* C6: *A Journey into the Mind of Watts*. Red wrappers with black stamping. 13. Unrecorded in *Mead*: *A Journey into the Mind of Watts*. Same imprint as *MeadC6* but in photographic montage wrappers. Possibly second printing.
