Thomas Pynchon – Complete Set of the Six Unauthorized Early Story Editions Complete "Unauthorized Editions" as listed in Clifford Mead's Bibliography An exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire the complete set of Thomas Pynchon's six classic unauthorized editions, issued by Aloes Books, Trystero and Mouldwarp prior to the publication of Slow Learner. The collection comprises: The Small Rain (Second Printing) Low-Lands Entropy The Secret Integration Mortality and Mercy in Vienna A Journey into the Mind of Watts These editions played an important role in the dissemination of Pynchon's early fiction at a time when several of the stories were otherwise unavailable in book form. Bibliographical Importance The six publications constitute the complete sequence of the classic unauthorized editions described in Clifford Mead's Thomas Pynchon: A Bibliography of Primary and Secondary Materials. Complete sets are encountered only rarely on the antiquarian market. Condition All six pamphlets retain their original wrappers and original staple bindings. Overall condition ranges from Very Good+ to Near Fine. The collection has remained together as a coherent private archive for many years. Each pamphlet bears the owner's small provenance stamp ("Pfisterer") on the title page. A Rare Opportunity Complete sets of these unauthorized editions are considerably scarcer than individual pamphlets and are of particular interest to collectors of Thomas Pynchon, twentieth-century American literature and modern literary bibliography. Price proposals are welcome. Institutional enquiries from libraries and research collections are especially appreciated.…
