ATD: ad: Pynchon excerpt from new novel

<< I'm guessing not too spectacular? But one thing I notice is that Pynchon's 
books show up a *lot* less than average in second hand bookshops. I suppose 
people who buy Pynchon books don't often sell them..... >>

Simpler thesis is that they don't show up second-hand because they weren't 
bought first-hand.  The law of averages will give you more Harold Robbins than 
TP.
