Yeah, well. I won't give you the pleasure of saying that I envy you like 
hell (BUT I DO; GIMMEGIMMEGIMME!!). I just received something more modest, 
but still nice: The new edition of GR with the cover by Frank Miller. It's 
actually pretty nice. The back cover is a reproduction of a dramatic and 
colorful scene from a German D-Day leaflet, showing bombs raining down on a 
burning London, including that Tower Bridge. The front inner flap just 
contains those well-known opening words "A screaming comes across the sky", 
and the back flap contains the text of William Slothrop's closing hymn. Nice 
touch...
Next shipment from Amazon: The new paperback edition of Lot 49 + 
Weisenburger's expanded and updated companion to GR. A-and then Against the 
Day. A-a-and finally Zak Smith's illustrations to GR.
In all my years as a Pynchon fan, I can't recall a Miraculous Month like 
this one. This year, Christmas is definitely in November.
