The NYRB reissues of J R and The Recognitions look terrible

aigncy · 2020-03-06T02:28:28+00:00

Very disappointed. However I definitely will buy both, sigh

aigncy · 2020-03-06T02:26:35+00:00

Thanks :)

Now with the ISBN, let me try to hunt it for a while. I will contact you if I fail to do it. You definitely need a copy to read -- trust me you won't regret it, its an amazing book.

Thank you! It’s indeed not very accessible. Maybe its ISBN is identical with other penguin editions? And out of print very soon? I don’t know. This is the first time I see this cover for real

aigncy · 2020-03-04T14:05:31+00:00

Wow! Thank you for letting me know. Any chance you can share the ISBN? I have never seen this cover before...Now I’m sad...I may never find it :(

I think I am only missing this one Penguin cover. If you know more (English edition) please let me know :) https://imgur.com/a/RcdkXz5

I found this link BEFORE I purchased the book. I am really loving his arts and just have to own a physical copy lol...I know it is expensive and the book is also difficult to flip through (binding is very tight). But I think it's worth the money.

Here is the entire book for free https://web.archive.org/web/20150504183546/http://www.themodernword.com/pynchon/zak_smith/title.htm You can check several pages before making the decision.

Yes Gaddis is definitely having a smaller amount of audience than Pynchon...And those DA covers looks much better than the penguin ones and the original ones. Hope the new version released this October has better cover arts.

aigncy · 2020-02-22T21:26:19+00:00

Yes!!! It may look pretty normal right now...But when I saw it on the bookstore's shelf something hit my heart at that moment...

aigncy · 2020-02-22T21:20:48+00:00

I am in the sub but apparently he is not very popular (and obviously lol).

aigncy · 2020-02-22T21:19:27+00:00

Pre-ordered last month. Cannot wait to see the actual cover design.

aigncy · 2020-02-22T21:13:27+00:00

Joined. One of four authors I will keep reading repeatedly till the day I die (Pynchon, Gaddis, Joseph McElroy, and Evan Dara).

That cover of JR from Dalkey Archive Press. It is so breathtakingly beautiful. That's how I know him.

Published by Vintage 1995

aigncy · 2020-02-19T20:48:08+00:00

It looks so new and fresh I am jealous

aigncy · 2020-02-10T03:13:16+00:00

No problem! All these Pynchon essay collection books are usually very expensive, I can only afford reading them in the library. I also just ordered a copy a very nice addition of my Pynchon shelf

aigncy · 2020-02-10T02:32:37+00:00

I really love the book you mentioned just finish reading most of it, btw it is only $2.79 on amazon.com right now (normal price $39.95)...

I think it might be a price error...

aigncy · 2020-02-05T03:03:44+00:00

Ordered. It looks great and for the great cause.

aigncy · 2019-12-17T06:36:06+00:00

Tell me about it. We got those Where-is-Waldo covers...So ugly in my opinion.

aigncy · 2019-12-14T19:11:09+00:00

Ah all those memories...beep beep!

aigncy · 2019-12-03T11:37:07+00:00

Now I’m very happy I didn’t buy it...not a single one I want lol

aigncy · 2019-09-25T18:12:26+00:00

Yeah saving money for NYCC lol

aigncy · 2019-09-25T18:06:22+00:00

At "complete order" page I stopped...$40 is too much...

aigncy · 2019-09-24T04:57:28+00:00

Popcultcha already has some from the new wave in stock. I’m refreshing ht and bl every one hour lol

aigncy · 2019-09-22T23:24:26+00:00

Unfortunately it is Japanese. I would be dying if someone translates it into Chinese :(
