V. by Thomas Pynchon
Bantam Books — Bantam Modern Classic
Fourth Printing, October 1968
Vintage mass-market paperback

An early paperback edition of Thomas Pynchon’s celebrated debut novel, originally published in 1963.

This copy comes from Bantam’s Modern Classic series and is specifically identified on the copyright page as the Fourth Printing, October 1968. It is an appealing early Pynchon paperback from only a few years after the novel’s original publication.

V. introduced many of the themes that would come to define Pynchon’s work—mystery, history, paranoia, technology, interconnected events, and dark humor—and preceded later works including The Crying of Lot 49 and Gravity’s Rainbow.

A nice vintage copy for a Thomas Pynchon collector, modern literature collection, or collector of early mass-market paperback editions.
